Answers:
You'll have to call an attorney who specializes in estate law. Ask if you have any rights to file claim on the estate.
A lawyer.Get one that will only get paid by you if he wins you something, and only pay him a PERCENTAGE of what he gets. So he will be motivated to get you more.
Get a lawyer
Get your self a really good lawyer! Oh and good luck!
If your step mom is the one receiving the estate, it is her responsibility (or your biological mom's) to take care of you. You are not going to be left out on the street because of this. So in a sense you will receive some of the estate - the things that it takes to raise you. Parents often don't leave estates to underaged children because grown adults are usually better equipped and more knowledgeable to take care of such things. I'm sure you'll be well taken care of.
an estate lawyer -because she is going to have to go through the courts first -and they approve their entitelment - a lawyer may give a free consultation and take a percentage of whatever you reve from the probate proceedings-sorry about your Dad
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR RIGHTS YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY.
GO TALK TO AN ATTORNEY OR LEGAL AID AND FIND OUT WHAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE AND WHAT YOU HAVE COMING.
LEGAL AID IS IN YOUR TELEPHONE BOOK OR ASK THE OPERATOR FOR THE NUMBER AND ADDRESS.
AN ATTORNEY CAN TAKE IT ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS.
USUALLY THERE IS A SCALE OF WHAT THEY CAN CHARGE YOU..IT IS A PERCENTAGE OF THE ESTATE.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW AND HAVE LEGAL HELP IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE. YOUR STEPMOTHER IS NOT BEING FAIR WITH YOU
You need to talk to an estate lawyer to see if you have any recourse, but in general children of parents have no right to inheritance, unless the child is under 18 then duty to support the child until 18
So unfortunately if your father did not leave a will, most likely by the laws of your sate all assets will go to your step-mother, now state law is different from state to state so hopefully a really good lawyer in your state will find a way to make a claim against the estate, but it will be a long shot
