I don't know the law in the US but I am sure that the mother of a deceased person could NEVER sell the property of his spouse (widow?) or even the deceased's property as the spouse (widow) would be next of kin and even if there was not a will the law has rules about this kind of thing Lock the woman out.

If the estate is not subject to probate procedure the personal representative should inform creditors of the death of the person and the deceased's financial status by means of a simple affidavit. Unless checking accounts and other assets (insurance benefits, bonds, stocks, etc.) and property are exempted under state laws, they are subject to creditor action.

Why are there two 1040 federal tax forms?
If a taxpayer died before filing a return for 2012, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative may have to file and sign a return for that taxpayer. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator, or anyone who is in charge of the deceased taxpayer's property. If the deceased taxpayer did not have to file a return but had tax withheld, a return must be filed to get a refund. The person who files the return must enter Deceased, the deceased taxpayer's name, and the date of death across the top of the return. If this information is not provided, it may delay the processing of the return.

If the sister-in-law is the wife of the deceased husband and the property was signed over to him before his death, then she may have an interest in it that give her a right to seek possession of it.

Consult a lawyer who is licensed to practice where the property is located.

An account is charged off before a judgment. The judgment creditor can execute the judgment against non-exempt property belonging to the debtor as a means to recover monies owed. The preferred method is wage garnishment followed by bank account levy or a lien against real property. It is also possible for the creditor to seize and sell other personal property belonging to the debtor, but creditors are generally reluctant to take such action.
Are heirs responsible for deceased fathers debt In Idaho?
Debts of the DeceasedI am not an attorney/lawyer, so this answer will of necessity be a lay answer until it can be improved by a more qualified source.Usually, in most states the debts of a deceased do not just "go away or disappear." The "estate" is legally responsible for his debts. Of course, IF a deceased had no money or property [real or personal], then there IS NO estate, and there really are no heirs, and they do not have to pay the debts of the deceased.On the other hand, IF there is money or property [real and/or personal], then there is an estate, and the estate is legally responsible to pay just [legitimate] debts of the deceased. If there is no cash money in the estate, then the property of the estate must be used to pay the legal debts.Those debts are legally the responsibility of the estate. That means that if the deceased had any money or property, the debts must be paid before any distribution of those assets to the heirs. If there is enough money in the estate, then it is used to pay off the legal debts of the deceased.IF there is no money, or not enough, AND the heirs do not want to sell the property [real and/or personal] of the estate to pay the legal debts, and since the debt must legally paid, that means the heirs must pay the estate debts.
