You hire an attorney to represent your interests. Probate is a pitfall for the uninitiated and you may end up losing your rights if you don't have someone there to represent you. Contact an attorney in your area right away before you lose what may rightfully be yours. Good luck.
Your father's will must be filed in probate to transfer title to assets. You can contact the court to get a copy of the will that should have been filed. Then you can see if you were left everything 50/50. If she has not filed the will, you can compel her to do so. You may need legal representation. Regards,
Hire an attorney and get this estate probated before all your assets are gone. She will have to account to the court for the funds she received or the assets she sold and reimburse you for that share.
