Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
misleading court
my dad died, no will, several million dollar estate. We just found out that his marraige was never filed with county recorder. Mock wedding if you will. However, step mother was ordered by court recently to have everything. What should I do? The court was mislead and wrongdoing has been done.

With so much at stake you should appeal immediately and settle the matter if possible. Contact me directly for assistance.
Re: misleading court
You can still speak with an attorney to see if there's still a case, but it should be done immediately--deadlines to appeal/reconsider the court's decision will pass soon, if they haven't already.
The marriage may qualify as "putative" marriage if it was intended by the parties to be a real marriage--bring as much information to the attorney consultation as you can.
