my mother has just recently passed away, i dont have a copy of her will. my mother had been in a relationship and her girlfiend will not let me or my family have access to my mothers will. i fear that this woman is selling off and hiding my mothers things in order not to give them to me or my family....i also belive that she is still using my mothers credit cards and atm cards. my mother had told me that everything she has went to me.... now that she has passed on. i would like to get and distribute some of her items that are family eirlooms, things that have been in our family for years. i just dont know what to do. i am in the state of nevada and i dont belive this state requires wills to be notirized. i dont know where she got her will done. i fear if i dont act quickly everything will be lost.
any help with this will be appriciated
thanx

speak to a lawyer, probate lawyers specialise in wills.
She may have her will in a safe deposit box at a bank.
Speak to the police about this as if you are next of kin (in case there isn't a will), you are entitled to whatever your mother has.

In most states, wills have to be filed at the court house after they have been filled out. Check at your local court house. She's not entitled to anything since most states don't recognize same sex relationships. Talk to your lawyer.

you could contact the county clerk at the courthouse where she lived as a copy of the will would have to be filed with the courts.
and being her children, y'all are suposed to get everything anywa, unless her girlfriend can prove otherwise. best thing to do would be to get a lawyer and start precedings to open the estate and get things going towards settling the estate.

You have the right to a fair trial. Bring this issue to your lawyer and I believe that the court will settle this for you. After all, you are her biological son and has the right before anyone else, esp. to someone who is just your mother's FRIEND.

you need to retain an attorney and have him get a court order for her to stop and produce the will.
