Most jurisdictions offer a "short form" for estates under a certain value. It limits the detail that you need to provide.

The lead clerk at the court is your friend and guide. But the process can be very expensive.

Your mother was left something in a will but has died can you claim it?
If the "something" was in the will of a person who died before your mother did, the "something" becomes part of her estate. If you have no brothers or sisters and your mother died without being married at the time (no other heirs at law), the something is yours. If the "something" was in a will of a person who died after your mother did, it will depend on how the will was worded. If it was left to your mother "or her issue" or similar language, it goes to her estate (you if you are the only heir at law). If the person leaving your mother something in a will has not died, nobody can claim it - yet.
