Re: Property
Yes, his mother would technically be entitled to those personal items belonging to her deceased son which can be reasonably separated by half from
those which belong to you and which you've describe as "acquired together".
If for whatever reasons these items are not easily subject to partition or separating out, then I'd tell her to forget it.
