Need to ask a question about wills

You have to do a bit of investigating yourself.  Firt call the county probate office of the county in which your dad lived at the time of his death.  Ask them if anything to do with your dad's estate has been registered.  If it has been, you can get a copy of whatever it is directly from them.  Its not just the Will you have to worry about, its other assets where you may be named as a beneficiary.  For example, if ou are named as a beneficiary of life insurance, you don't need the will to claim that benefit.  The Will only controls assets that were only in your dad's name.  Your step-mom cannot transfer or sell anything your dad owned in his own name alone unless she probates the will and get a certificate back thta proves she has done that.  Good Luck.
