In: US Supreme Court [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The US Supreme Court interprets Constitutional law in regards to federal and state issues.

It does not make laws nor become involved in civil matters such as estates of deceased persons. Such matters are adjudicated by the state probate court in relation to the probate laws of the state in which the deceased was a resident at the time of death.
