According to eyewitness when the police arrived they spoke to the Donna Clay my aunt asked what had happen and said it was a civil matter. The police did not ask for any form of identification.

You need to immediately retain a probate attorney. Lovely family, by the way. I'm sorry for the loss of your father.

Get an attorney with experience in probate administration. He or she will make a formal demand that your aunt return your father's property. I'm assuming you've changed the locks?

I agree with the other lawyers here. You need to retain an attorney immediately. In addition to a demand by the attorney to return estate property, if the estate will be probated, then additional petitions can be filed in the Probate court to request an order for return of this property.
