<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent was living with boyfriend when she passed away (intestate). Immediately after she passed, boyfriend cut off all contact with her adult children and isn’t allowing them into the apartment so that the kids can collect her things,
such as her clothing for the viewing this Friday and her other valuables. I assume we could get an adult child appointed PR and get a court order to preserve assets or even to recover them, but I’m wondering if anyone has experience doing these things on a
very short timeline? I don’t think there is much value at issue, mostly sentimental items.<o:p></o:p></p>
