Devisees and creditors have a year from the date of death to bring awill to be probated. After that, the estate can be passed s if no will existed. The heirs at law (usually children of the deceased) can petition for a determination of heirship, as to property owned by the decedet at the time of their death. In that intestate estate (sometimes depending upon who the judge is) the Personal Represetntaive or Petitioner can seek an accouting from person beleived to have control over o rknowledge of other p[roperty owned by the decedent. Of course the order of the deaths of your parents could affect who gets how much, if there were any stepchildren or half siblings.
Good luck
