Unsigned Will-Multiple Questions
History:
1) Aunt E was born in West Virginia in 1906.
2) She received approximately $800 per/yr income from
partial shares of oil wells in Roane County, WV.
3) In early 1994 I brought her to Ohio to live in my home.
4) In late 1994 I had to put her in a nursing home in Ohio.
5) I was given Power of Attorney for her in 1994
6) She died in April, 2002.
7) I was named as administrator and sole heir of her estate in
an unsigned copy of her Roane County, WV will that was
prepared in 1977. The original will is lost.
8) She has no living relatives other than nieces and nephews
living in Ohio, West Virginia and Tennessee.

Questions:
1) What is the probate process I must go through to
eventually get her oil assets?
2) Would it be worth the time I must go through to do so?
3) If I did nothing what would happen to those assets?:)
Thanks for helping me, Don Long
