What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
My husband and I had been living apart for the past year in the same small town. We had to live apart because he had criminal proceedings against him and in order to keep the kids, we could not reside together. On March 31, 2010, I was taking our daughter with her scheduled visit with him, and I found him dead of a heart attack in bed. My husbands mother told everyone that we were divorced and even the coroner gave her over $2000.00 cash out of the home. The police knew that we were separated but still married and turned our home over to his mother. 2 days later she put padlocks on the property because she knew that I had keys. We buried him on April 6th 2010 and I filed with the court to be PR. I was told they were removing things from the home so while waiting for the PR I became special administrator. I went into the home to find his mother had taken everything from our home. I called the police but I am not sure what can be done. His family took not only our marital property, my separate property and his separate property, but also everything from our daughter down to everything from her birth to recent including her birth certificate. Will she be forced to return everything to the estate. She is trying to say that she has never been in there and that the padlocks only went on 2 weeks ago, which I know better.
