Sad. I think legally the lease is terminated thirty days after the date of her death. You would have to let the family in during that time to get stuff. After the thirty days you can move stuff out and either store it at the expense of the estate or I think sell it if no claims are made. But the estate could claim the stuff for I think six months....so if you sold it you would have to give them the money. Obviously you want to deal with the survivors kindly and with tact but you also need to keep the place rented. So thirty days you should plan for a clean vacant property.
