My great aunt passed away and her son was the executor of her will, but didn''t put the notice in the paper, or even have a service for is mother. He was named as owner of her house, but didn''t even sell that in the last 3 years. How do we find out if she left anytihng to any other relatives? We don''t know who her attorney was and the will didn''t go to probate.

If there was a will, it would need to be probated, especially if real estate was transferred. Check with the Register of Wills in the county where your great aunt resided.
