Mother was widowed 23 years ago. Her spouse at the time was a second marriage for both, he had no will. We believe his estate was split between her and his children from a prior marriage, and she seems to have gotten the house, but we are not privy to the details.
Sibling stayed with her from April to October, when she passed. The other 2 siblings, who were no contact with her, had no knowledge of this, until she died. Sibling told us there was no will. The funeral home has told us that they sent the death certificate to Social Security, but that's it. Nothing seems to have been done to start probate. Sibling that stayed with her was put on bank account before her passing, and has just disappeared. No response to phone calls or texts.
House is paid in full, but as we understand it, even if there is a paid up homeowner insurance policy, with the home owner deceased, it would not cover anything.
So what do we do? Nothing?
