She is not being evicted because her husband didn't have a will, she is/was being evicted because they didn't pay their mortgage and the house went into foreclosure.
The foreclosure debate is a whole separate issue. I hope that she is successful in getting things sorted out, but this has nothing to do with a lack of will.

BS. It said right in the video that the bank was refusing the payments, and the house was well kept up.
Catherine Lennon lived at 9 Ravenwood Ave. in Rochester for seven years. Economic hard times forced some of her children and grandchildren to move into the home and the family to miss some mortgage payments. Bank of America began foreclosure proceedings shortly after Catherine’s husband died of cancer. Fannie Mae, recipient of a $90 billion taxpayer bailout, took over the home and proceeded to evict the extended family of 11.
After a flurry of supporter calls, emails and viral videos of intense media scrutiny, the very next day, US congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY-28) directly intervened, convening a conference call between Catherine and high level Fannie Mae officials, who are now re-reviewing her case. In addition, TBL- Rochester was contacted directly by the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, both of whom committed to step up efforts to assist the family.

I dont think we are getting the whole story on this one. The reporter says that she was able to make the payments, but then why the people sitting in on her house get arrested?
The mortgage had to be in default/forclosure IMHO.
Im not going to jump to conclusions like so many "Knee jerk" reactionaries love to do on these things.
I will wait to see the facts.
