If my late husband never completed his new will and now I've been omitted, I can't even access any income, is there anything I can do?

As a surviving spouse, you can claim an elective share, which in New York is generally one-third, with certain adjustments.

When my grandmother passed, does the shares go solely to my aunt or are my mom’s children entitled to her half?

You can forget about the notarized letter as it is not legally sufficient to act as a Will. However, according to the facts you set forth your Mother's children would be entitled to half.

How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
The answer to your question depends on several factors. For example, are you named as the "pay on death" beneficiary of the account? If not, did your mother leave a Will? Are you the only beneficiary of the estate? If there is no Will, the size of her estate may affect whether you will need to open a probate to collect the account or whether you can do a simplified proceeding. I recommend you speak with a probate attorney to discuss the answers to your questions and determine your options.
