You need a New York probate attorney to look at this question. Try reposting your question and specifying you need a New York State attorney to answer.

If your father died without a will, the laws of New York apply which sill provide the wife with a certain portion of your father's estate, and the rest will go to his children.
A new executor would have to be appointed for the cousin.
