If your daughter did not have a will, her property will pass based on New York's law of intestacy. Assuming that her father is no longer alive, you would be the sole beneficiary. You will probably need to start an admininstration proceeding in the NY Surrogate's Court. If you don't want to engage an attorney, the clerk of the Surrogate's Court in the county in which your daughter resided may be able to help.,
