Re: probate
Your mother needs to contact an attorney immediately. It is possible that she may have a claim on some of the property, but she will need an attorney to advise her and to file a restraining order if one is called for. If she waits too long, the items will be gone and the out of town relatives might be hard to get before the court.
If the items are not worth much, it might not be worth the expense to recover them. Her attorney can help her with that.
