Re: Estate concern
It depends. Was there a will? Was there a trust? How were the assets held? I assume your step-parent has passed. Does he or she have a will or a trust? What does it say?
For instance, if your parent's only significant asset was a home and it was held in joint tenancy with the step parent, then the step parent would receive the house and you would have no claim.
You need to provide us with more information to give you a better answer.
