What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin

My daughters father passed away in June. There was some ugly-ness between his widow and myself about my daughter. She refuses to give my daughter her things from their house, saying that the things belong to HER not my daughter. How do I go about taking her to court to get my daughter her things back?

There was no will. He committed suicide. She had a room there for when she stayed on the weekends. She left several years worth of birthday and christmas gifts from her father there so she would have things there too.

In the absence of a will, all of the property will revert to the surviving spouse.

However, there may be something to be done... QUICKLY... contact a lawyer tomorrow.
