The first thing you want to determine is whether or not your father left a Last Will & Testament. If he did, that document will lay out what his wishes were for his belongings and needs to be filed in the probate court where he lived. If he did not die with a will, you and your siblings are still entitled to inherit from him, although the process may be a bit more complicated due to the fact that he died intestate and apparently married someone.
