Re: mother was hit by a car and killed
I'm sorry to hear about your mother and your father.
The starting point is to go to the Register of Wills in the county where your mother lived, and ask if anyone had taken out letters of administration (or if she had a will, letters testamentary). They can look it up by her name and date of death. The file is a public record; it could show the attorney for the estate, and if there was a recovery, there should be a copy of the state inheritance tax return.
