If my landlord died last week and his kids have probated his Will, who do I pay my rent to?
I paid the rent to him for 8 years. I don’t want to move and I never met his kids.

Good question. Since your landlord has died and you owe rent where a probate has been filed under the laws of all states in this country you need to make the rent check to the "estate of the deceased landlord" and mail the check to the executor. I suggest making the necessary calls to send the check to.
