A: Most State's intestacy laws do not vest all property in surviving spouse. Property owned by Tenants By The Entirety or Joint Tenancy With Right of Survivorship would go to surviving spouse. Hire an attorney to advise on the relevant laws and who should have got what. There is no executor unless he is appointed under a probated will. Apparently you have not searched the titles nor knew who owned what, or exactly what Administrations have occurred in Court
