Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Probate: Removal of items from home
Mother passed on 8/25 with no will. She had a common law husband which she shared a home with in Pennsylvania. My sister and I reside in Delaware. My sister went to the home and took thousands of dollars of my mother's items, including jewelry. Is it legal for her to remove items from my mother's home before going to probate? What can I do so that the items can be returned to the home so that all assets can go through Probate Court? We have not file the case in court as yet.

Thank you

Re: Probate: Removal of items from home

Try to get an inventory of what your sister took.

Open an estate so that someone is in charge of the administration of the estate.

Depending on location we can help.
