Minor child's rights to their personal belongings after parent dies
My daughter's dad passed away and she wants her personal belongings which were her dads home when he died but stepmom won't give them to her. She is only 10 yrs old & was very close with her dad, she can't seem to grieve, she desperately needs these items to feel closer to her dad and help her cope with grieving.
Since these items were my daughter's personal things & NOT her father's (or stepmom's) they would not become part of his estate when he passed simply because they were in his home (in her bedroom there).
What should I do?
