You must be notified if there is property in the estate and you are an interested party. The will would be filed in Probate Court in the county where the person resided at the time of their death. when the estate is opened.

What should she do if she was informed by his children she had to leave the house and had nothing for her because they were just married six months?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)

Most important: she should not move out of the house. She should inform them to contact her lawyer, and she should plan to file a spousal property petition if he had no will. If she does move out, she likely will not have the right to return and may lose out. If he has no will that mentions her, then she probably is entitled to get all of the community property, if any, and a third of the rest!
