This year - 5771 - is a Jewish leap year; the 12th month (starting on Shabbat) will be Adar-I and the 13th month will be Adar-II.
If a person dies during Adar in a non-leap year, then on leap years the Yahrzeit is observed during Adar-I.
However, Kaddish should be said in both Adar-I and Adar-II.
Nevertheless, in Adar-II he doesn't have the usual precedence given to a Yahrzeit; in places where only one person says Kaddish at a time, all other mourners get to say a Kaddish first, and if there are any left, he does too.
