Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

You really should contact an attorney as soon as possible. The assets will pass according to Pennsylvania laws of intestate succession. There are many steps to changing the title of everything. Notices, taxes and more. The longer you wait, the worse it will get. Feel free to contact me, and I will explain the process to you.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You will need to open up an estate administration to have authority to transfer your husband's assets or to sell them. Additionally, please be advised that there may be taxes due. You really should consult with an attorney.
