Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

no will

Our father died about 2 years ago.As far as we know there was no will. He and our stepmother has 1 son. While he was alive he praticly disowned us, his first 3 children and he would have nothing to do with his grandchildren.when he died, she the stepmother acted like we didnot exist at the funeral her and our stepmother were the only ones mentioned. I got up and walked out. He ran around on our mother and left her when we were 1,2,3. They owned a new home, cars and an old vintage car worth a lot of money. She never offered us anything of our fathers, not even a word of sympathy or a picture. Are we entitled to get anything of our fathers? As far as we know there was no will.
