A: You will need to talk to the clerk of court where her aunt resided about the process. It will depend on whether or not her aunt left a will naming an executor. Your wife could also speak with an attorney that handles probate cases. Most attorneys who do estate planning (wills and trusts) will know how the process works in that county.
