Anyone experienced in or familiar with probate law?

@Goralski After speaking with her just a couple of times, I can see why she's an ex.

@nonsensiclesnail I figured it would vary from state to state. The police contacted the next of kin then got back to me telling me that he's not interested in the deceased's estate. They then told me that the items would be released to me after fifteen days. Guess a lawyer is my only option at this point.

@TheSeptikSkeptik unfortunately. maybe you can find out what you need in a free consultation. one can hope.

@Mondayschild That was my thought as well but she is being very aggressive. She's calling my wife two to three times a week wanting money so that they will release the body to her. I knew it was a long shot to ask here but I thought I might as well try. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

@TheSeptikSkeptik tell her to talk to his brother and forbid her to call your wife anymore. Sounds like you have a case against her. What I would do is write her a registered letter forbidding any more contact from her. She is a nasty piece of work.

@TheSeptikSkeptik Ask her if she has anything in writing from the deceased. Just because they're divorced doesn't mean he didn't leave her something.
