Hello, If the Will was not property executed, the deceased passed intestate and the laws of DE will determine how his estate is to be distributed. It is recommended that you consult with a local attorney to explore your options.

I agree with the attorneys below. If there is a will, it will control. An ex-wife would likely have no interest in the estate. Likewise, any power of attorney would be extinguished upon the passing of the individual. If there is no will. The estate would pass by operation of law to the heirs as designated by Delaware laws of intestacy. Greg Stewart Law Office of Gregory D. Stewart, P.A. Licensed in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia

Generally, estate documents are not registered with any state entity until the person is deceased and probate begins. you should ask an attorney your question, in person.
