DJ AM dies without a will

Celebrity turntablist DJ AM died without a will.  His mother filed for probate and sought to be appointed executor of his estate.  Since he was unmarried and had not children it is a near certainty his mother will be appointed executor (had this probate been in California  then she would have been appointed administrator.) 

This should be plain vanilla probate.  There's no hint of any illegitimate children or secret marriages.  If so then his mother should be able to move this probate along and receive the net estate as the sole beneficiary.
