Re: how is the property distributed

Son receives life insurance policy since it passes outside of will. All other assets solely in her name - house, money, etc. would be equally divided among children if mother died intestate (without a will) and if husband pre-deceased.

If you need someone to handle the administration proceeding feel free to telephone.
