You have to start with the documents. Get a coy of your father's will. If he named your step mother as the executor, then she had control after his death. See if the will stated that the property went to you after her death. If they owned the property jointly during his life, he may have intended it to go to you, but the law might have have given the property to the surviving owner. Go on the county recorder of deeds website and look up the property. Find out the ownership of the property at the time of your dad's death, after his death, and now.
