Additional Information
At common law, real property in the United States could not be inherited by a foreign beneficiary. Although I am not an expert in this area of law I can offer the following information.
The common law barriers have been repealed in some states and modified by statute in others. Many states have enacted alien inheritance statutes. The California code was the prototype of the reciprocal rights restriction. Under that provision the right of an alien beneficiary to inherit real or personal property depends upon the existence of a similar provision in the respective country where the alien beneficiary resides.
The issue of applying state law on distribution to alien heirs has been addressed by the Supreme Court in Zschernig v. Miller where the Court held an Oregon statute that required reciprocity to be unconstitutional.
Generally, the matter of distribution of estates to foreign beneficiaries comes under the provisions of state law. You should contact the probate court that has jurisdiction over the estate to determine if the estate was settled. If the decedent died intestate you should consult with an attorney in that jurisdiction to determine your rights under that state's laws.
