My aunt passed in a nursing home. She only had copies of her will, but they are not signed. There is no life insurance, no property and no assets. What do I do?

If you do not have a signed will, you do not have to do anything. Whomever might have the signed will should be notified, as they are to file it with the clerk in the county where your aunt died. With no assets, there is no reason to do more at this time.
