There was no executor, there was no estate. just the small time share property in mexico. since the daughter wants to fight for a monetary share of this property, the widow has retained an attorney.she is waiting for him to get back to her on the questions i posed to this site. i also lookeed online at mexlaw.com and i believe it stated the laws of mexico would split it up without any will involved. i was asking if Illinois law or Mexico law would have jurisdiction or if it even mattered.

Mexican law will be involved since that is where the property is located. It is possible to have this property probated in Mexico--it doesn't necessarily have to be done in Illinois just because that is where the death occurred.
