Best Answer

The best option is to retain an attorney qualified in estate and probate law. In lieu of that contact the office of the clerk of the probate court in the city or county of residence for assistance. Not much can be done until the court appoints an executor or executrix beyond securing all property to the extent possible. No funds, personal or real property should arbitrarily be sold, transferred or allowed to be taken or given to family members. When a person dies intestate (without a will) the state probate succession laws apply.
