First off, you have my condolences. My MIL passed suddenly about a month ago. It is a very difficult time and you need to focus on family.

Are you the trustee or executor? This is important. If you are truly the trustee (her assets are assigned to a trust), you will need a good probate attorney and they will guide you through the process. Otherwise, her will is hopefully pretty clear and an estate attorney can help you through your role.

All the best in your handling of her assets!
