Re: Mother's Landlord ( Diff. State )is keeping her belongings

You must file with the Surrogate's Office in the county where she lived at the time of her death. Without a will there are laws which determine how her estate is distributed. If she had no husband at her death her children share her estate in equal shares. You should contact an attorney where she lived.
