This is illegal. Contact an attorney. A will must go through probate or the estate itself must go through probate, but even if she legally inherited everything, there must be a probate process to hand over all legal title to her.

Father passed away and mother never opened estate Now mother is gone who is responsible for opening the estate of the father Will states everything is left to wife.?
Each estate must be separately administered. Fathers creditors will need to be paid from father's estate, necessary tax forms will be filed. Father's estate will need to be distributed according to the father's will, i.e., the residual to the surviving spouse. The estate of the spouse is then probated by the administrator of the wife's estate, as required by the wife's creditors and heirs.
