If my sister died without a will and 6 months later her husband died, can her son claim what she left?

The life insurance maybe. Make a claim. The cars and boats might be more difficult as they technically transferred to the husband on her death. The only exception might be if she owned them before she married him.

Without a signed codicil, the terms of the original will determine the distribution of your father?s assets. You don't indicate why your niece thinks she has a claim to the property.

Why do we need to wait for the distribution of the funds?

Although estate laws differ from state to state, yes, you probably need to wait. The executor needs time to notify all creditors and debtors of the estate, locate any other potential heirs, determine and pay any taxes due, collect the funds from the debtors, and pay the creditors before the remains of the estate can be distributed. Four months is actually a pretty short period of time for all of that to happen. Sometimes it takes a year or more to settle an estate.
