Protesting a rejection from an estate administrators deniel of a claim

My brother borrowed several hundred dollars of sporting equipment from me with the understanding it would be returned when he was done with it. There were several people present when he left my residence with it. All parties involved knew it was only loned to him. My brother was beaten up by his wife, died the next week (he had filed for divorce). I put in a claim with the estate through probate, his wife is administrator. I recieved a rejection letter that she will not return the itmes and denied my claim for my items back.

What redress do I have? Can I file, against her, in small claims court to get the items or value of items back?
