📝 Grandfather I Didn't Know Left Me His Estate

This seems like a weird thing to complain about and I'll preface this by saying I'm very grateful to be inheriting what I'm inheriting.

So my father was adopted and never really knew his biological father. That, in turns, obviously means I didn't know my biological grandfather. Said biological grandfather that I never knew recently passed away and left me half of his estate. It includes a house, vehicles, bank accounts, etc. I have no idea the dollar amount yet, if he owed debt, what the house is worth etc.

In any case, I'm incredibly grateful for this. I never knew this man and now after passing, his wife, who is the executor of the will, is harassing me. I'm doing my best to be very sympathetic that she is an elderly woman that's grieving, but I don't know these people and after connecting with her once, she's calling me 15+ times a day. All day while I'm at work, all night, all Easter holidays when I told her I was busy doing family stuff.

Am I the asshole for completely ignoring this woman for the last week and don't intend to speak to her again? I feel awful that she's a grieving woman that just lost her partner, but I don't know these people and am not interested in this kind of intrusion into my life.
