Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm very sorry for you loss and even more sorry for your hassles with your family.

In order to make all these things happen, the will will have to be filed with the Probate Court in the county where your mom lived. It's possible this is too recent for that to have happened yet. If you know the name of the attorney handling the writing of the will or the filing of the estate, that's the first person to contact. The Court will give you usually 4-6 months to contest the will or any part of it from the time the Probate case is filed.

Once the case is filed, you have a right to review the will. But the reality is that you need an attorney. I don't know what you can do about the cremation. If it hasn't been done, contact the funeral director and let them know that you believe something is wrong and share your concerns. They schedule the cremation, so everything is really in their hands anyway.

As for her husband's rights, take him to the attorney with you. "Everything" in the house would include his personal property and there is no way that way can prevent him from access to his own possessions. He does have rights as a surviving spouse. The question is how hard are you willing to fight and how much money are you willing to spend to contest the will?
