Q: My deceased dads ex girlfriend has all his stuff.
He could never get it when they broke up because she is crazy and pulled a gun on him. The police were called a few times. He recently died and when my sister and I packed his house realized all his stuff is missing. We know she has it but says she does not. His stuff is rightfully ours and there is no will. I had his POA and was his medical surrogate. He was in a coma after the hospital put a hole in his esophagus and fell into a coma. Then he died. Is there anything we can do to get his stuff from this woman? She denied having anything but we know that is not true. She only kept it to be vindictive. She said horrible things about him to us and everyone else even after he died. We just want our dads things.
A: Sure; if you file a probate case you can sue her for the stuff.
