Every state has its own laws regarding inheritance. The answer depends on many factors such as whether the son was married or whether he left children, whether the children are minors, whether he left a Will, etc. Generally, if a person who is not married dies his estate goes to his parents after his debts have been paid unless he left a valid Will that names someone else.
It will depend on the intestacy laws. If he was married and had issue, the mother will not have a claim.
Usually the spouse. "Unlike a spouse, a child generally has no legally protected right to inherit a deceased parent's property. The law does protect children when an unintentional omission in a will occurs, however."
Different types of liens have their own statutes of limitations. The heirs of the deceased would inherit the right to collect the debt if they have proof the money is owed. Be aware that your debt doesn't die with the person to whom you owe money.
It depends on the legislation of the country. Normally the spouse and children take precedence. An under age child of the deceased would take precedence over the mother of the deceased.
Mother's right to inheritance of the deceased son
That is the normal distribution. If there are others on the deed that may affect things. And a spouse normally has a right to the property for at least a life estate.
Sounds right to me. The time of the passing has nothing to do with who gets the property, it's in the will. If there is no will than your spouse is entitled to it.
When someone dies without a will the state laws of intestacy provide for the distribution of their property. Generally, if your parent is deceased you would inherit your parent's share of your grandparent's estate. If your parent is not deceased then you have no right to a share of your grandparent's estate. If your grandparent left a will and the will is allowed you have no other right to their estate.

In North Carolina, heirs have the right to inherit a portion of the deceased person's estate as determined by state laws of intestacy if there is no will. Heirs also have the right to challenge a will if they believe they were unfairly excluded or if they have valid legal grounds. Additionally, heirs have the right to be informed about the probate process and receive an accurate accounting of the estate.
Does anyone, or anything?
The queen Regnant is a reigning Sovereign in her own right. A queen Consort is the wife of a Sovereign. A queen Dowager or Queen Mother is the widow of a deceased Sovereign.
If your mother owns the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship with that other person then she cannot leave her interest in the property to you. If that tenancy was not specifically recited in the will when she received her inheritance then she inherited as a tenant in common and can leave her half interest in the property to you by will. If she dies intestate her interest will pass to her heirs at law according to your state laws.
If you don't understand the legal reason for the distribution of your mother's estate you should ask the attorney who is handling the estate to expplain it to you. If you still don't understand or disagree then you should consult another attorney, explain the situation and ask for a second legal opinion. The second attorney can review the law that affects your situation and confirm that the distribution is being done according to the law in your state.
