Your mother is wrong. The surviving spouse must share the deceased parent's property with any children where there is no will, but this assumes that there will be property to share. Not all assets are probate assets and it will depend on what your father owned and owed. You need to get up with a probate attorney who practices in the county where your father lived prior to his death.

You need to see a lawyer immediately. While not all assets would be ones you could share in depending on how things were titled (and also if she files for years support), you likely are entitled to a share of the remaining assets.
