Most of them are houselhold items and the surviving spouse would have claim to them as a co-owner. Some of the items became part of the estate but unless they were specifically willed to you, you have no claim to them. You may be able to negotiate a trade off or purchase of items for other items of value left to you but other than that, they are not yours.

| | | The answer hasn't changed since the thread you posted earlier today. They are not your sister's things anymore. They belong to her husband. | |
