Can I change the locks of a home to a person who just died and has no will?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you are not a blood relative of this person, and his family is now coming to assert ownership of his property and belongings, you cannot legally change the locks of his home. Even without a will, a person's belongings pass by a law known as intestate succession, so the relatives coming out of the woodwork have a legal claim to the residence as well as any other items of value he left behind. They can assert this claim by filing a small estate affidavit in the county where your friend died.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

The probate court has information available about your duties. You should contact one of the representatives at the court that appointed you and ask them for an instruction sheet. If they don't have one available they should be able to direct you how to get the information you need.

What do I do if my mother's husband daughter took all of my mother things while she was in hospital and got away with it?

You need to file a contest to the will if she submits an invalid will to probate. This will put the court on alert that something is amiss with your mother's estate. It's definitely a good idea for you to get a consultation with an attorney familiar with probate litigation.
