Anyone experienced in or familiar with probate law?

A tenant of mine had passed away and his only next of kin is a brother who wants nothing to do with his possessions. He does however have an ex-wife who is hounding me for money. i know I should probably get a lawyer but this whole ordeal has already been costing me a ton of money.

hounding you for money?
you may need to talk to a lawyer about this. probate law changes from state to state
or you could start here!

@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.
