When a person dies without a will in the United States their property passes by state laws of intestacy. You can check your state at the link below.
If your father died as the sole owner of property, i.e., property not held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship with his wife, then his estate must be probated in order for title to property to pass legally to his wife. If his will provided that all his property was to pass to his wife then the will must be probated and once allowed must be followed to the letter. If the son does not want to be appointed executor, the widow can choose an alternate executor, file an assent with the petition for probate and the son can file a declination. The widow should hire an attorney to handle the probate of the estate.
