QUESTION

Should my children be getting anything from my ex-husband's estate?

Asked on Mar 04th, 2021 on Wills and Probate - Alaska
More details to this question:
My ex-husband died in 2019. He was remarried. She has been appointed the executor of his estate. She has not given my children anything that belongs to their father nor any proceeds from the estate. I do not allow her to have contact with my children as she was harrassing them about their father's death. He committed suicide and they were the only ones home with him at the time. She has not had any contact with me to give them any of their father's belongings, etc. Is there anything that they or I can do?

Please contact a the clerk of the probate court in the county in which your ex-husband died.   If the widow has been appointed executor, there was a Will, which may well have left her everything.  Once a Will is submitted for probate (proving that it is the Will of the person who died), it becomes a public document.
