You need to get to the courthouse to be made administrator of your husband's estate. I don't know that there's any way around it, although, I suppose someone else could do it, but then they would be the one who would be able to get access, not you. If there is some medical reason that you can not get to the courthouse, perhaps, they can make special arrangements for you. You should call the Register of Wills in the county where your husband died to get more information.
