Someone took property from the deceased’s house without permission or order of the court. What do I do?

If anyone takes property from the decedent’s estate prior to the personal representative being appointed, the personal representative can require return of the property and can impose a penalty of three times the value of the property against that person’s share, if they are a beneficiary. If the person is not a beneficiary, the police should be called to report a theft.
