Re: next of kin son's rights
Let me see if I have this right: your dad and his ex-wife were on the deed together. Then your dad died. That means his ex-wife owned the house by herself.
Later, the house was quit-claimed to your step-sister. That means she owns the house now. You're not entitled to anything.
