Re: estate
One copy of your message said it related to CA law. The next message I received said AZ law. I will answer on that basis.
A lot of facts are not known here. Was you father single? I would need to see a copy of this paper. You are likely the sole heir even if the "paper" did not qualify as a will. If it does qualify as a will, it would govern. Again, I would need to see this "paper."
Depending upon the value of the assets, you might need probate, or not. See an estate attorney immediately. Do not let someone else "be in charge" of the estate. We offer free, no obligation initial consultations at 480.835.1500 and handle estates in all Arizona counties. Thirty years experience.
