Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
If you were never discharged as Administrator, the case was never closed and any heir or creditor can raise an issue with the Court concerning your failure to handle your duties properly.  If you believe you performed all of your duties and you have distributed all property of the estate, you should file a petition for discharge seeking to be relieved of any further obligations related to the estate.

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Get a lawyer and challenge her actions in court. But first, ask yourself what is at stake. Do the math. Do not spend $1000 to get a gun you could buy for $200. Of course, if he had rare or heirloom guns, maybe they are worth it. But get that clear in your mind before you start the fight.

Is it possible for the mother to get the home back?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Depends on how the property was titled; did the son change title to himself and his wife in joint tenancy, which has the right of survivor ship to wife? If not, maybe the mother succeeds to the property, subject to a minor claim of wife for increasing value; or she may claim a widow's share in the property. You should obtain assistance of legal counsel of a probate attorney to determine the succession of the property to whom.
