[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 399797, member: 3493"] I haven't read the whole thread but I would talk to a lawyer if I were you. In my state (NY), if a person dies intestate, then his survivors are entitled to shares. Current spouse and children are the categories. Stepchildren can only inherit from a step-parent if they are listed in a will. I would contact a lawyer, explain the situation and have the lawyer contact your stepmom with a request to be informed who the estate's lawyer is. If she says there is no will and/or she is not moving to probate, your attorney could apply for you to be the adminstratrix of the estate. I would pursue this if I were you - you are legally entitled to a share if there is no will and you'd probably get enough to buy a new truck and/or a nice set of tools. Good luck, [/QUOTE]
