I told her all this before we did it, and I had planned to have police standing by but she was apprehensive and did not want to do it. She wanted to try and keep her relationship with her mother-in-law. She got all her important documents and thats what counts. I don't want to be too pushy because she has really been through a lot.. She can still contest the will. I honestly don't know what would have happened anyway if the police had been there. She wasn't emotionaly prepared I really doubt they'd have let her walk out of the house with any kind of safe or large lock box with all the argueing and 'thats mine', 'no thats mine!' they'd have said, this is a domestic issue and you need a lawyer. I don't think it does any good to say 'you should have' after the fact, it doesn't help her. I do appreciate the advice.

We went down with her to help her collect her things. She doesn't feel safe there. We got some of her things. I believe she needs to file an I-751 to remove the condition on her green card because she has her two year conditional card now and its not yet with in the 90 days from expiration.

I do understand that she has rights, though I am not clear on what exactly. I explained to her that she can contest the will. He has property here and there, stocks, things of that nature, but she doesn't seem too interested in that. The situation is very tense. We had a confrontation with the mother in law who is living in there house, and has been for a year. She's very possessive over all the documents and paper work. Didn't want her to take anything of that nature out of the house. Its a mess honestly and all i can really do is support her. I don't want to push her in one direction or the other. Peace of mind is worth all the money in the world. Supposedly she has a substantial savings in the house, but its cash. The mother in law knows about it and is guarding it like a dog. She really wants that and nothing else. I don't know how she can lay claim on cash legally. There is absolutely no paper work to back up that amount, I asked her myself. I plan to take her down to the sheriffs office so she can explain her situation and get an escort to go there today and see what they say about letting her take that. After yesterday I'm not going there with out police.

nigeriaorbust, what do you mean by probate? I'm curious because she wants to get in there and get her savings. He owned two or more properties. The one the currently lived on is a 3acre parcel with a tiny house not worth much, maybe 120. He has 100acre parcel somewhere. She says her name is not on the deed. I did a search on the county gis tax map to see, and the 3acre parcel is still in his name only according to that site.

as far as I know she needs to get removal of conditions, i'm confused as to what she is filling honestly, its been so long since I have done this with my wife. What is the difference between form i485 and i751? I'm pretty sure her name is on nothing, bank, house, nothing. I understand that she still has some rights but she may be in real physical danger, we live in the back woods here. and they live even more so.

I wish I knew more about where she is at in the process but I only know she has a green card with conditional status as I've seen it. Can she get 'the' death certificate from local gov? I know how cis likes to have original documents.

Thanks, i'll read as much as I can. I only have a few hours and we are suppose to go pick her up. The situation is escalating fast and to be honest she needs to get out of there. I'm concerned she'll leave behind some important documents she needs and the family is too confrontational. I just received notice from her that people are going to be moving into the house with her. she has no say and one is a drug addict.

I need some urgent help for a filipina who is in a bad situation. She married her spouse about 2 years ago and just recently died suddenly. He did not change his will and I fear the family is not very supportive of her. I believe she still needs to file for her adjustment of status and she has a resident card with conditional. Its been a long time since I have filed for this myself and i'm sure things are different. I need a quick run down of the required documents for this. I know she needs to file form I-751.

I feel like the family is going to get confrontational, she seems scared. I need to get everything she needs secured soon, I fear she will get kicked out as they are assuming all this guys property, and things are getting shuffled around under her nose. Please help.
