My exhusband passed away suddenly without a will. He was not remarried, he has 1 child with me (the oldest child being 14) and another child with someone else (being 6 yrs). His mother in her late 70s is not competent to understand everything. Who would become the executor of an estate that would be opened?
Since there was no Will, someone would serve as administrator, not executor of the estate. As mother of his heirs, you could apply to serve. Please see a local probate lawyer.
