They don't. He has no right to do so. However, what he needs to do is to open an estate. If there are no objections from other possible heirs, he can be appointed as executor. The executor (whether it is a volunteer or court appointed) will be given a letter of authorization that will allow them to access all of the resources of the estate. There are requirements for record keeping and notification of others, as well as reports that have to be filed with the court. And the executor can be paid for their efforts. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for further information.
