Re: father's estate
If your father has a will, the will controls. If your father did not have a will, you may
inherit under the laws of intestacy of your state. When your step-mother dies, you will
not inherit unless her will makes you a beneficiary.

Re: father's estate
Your rights are determined by your father's Will, if he had one, and if not, then by the law of your State. You are advised to visit with an estate lawyer in your community for answers to your questions.
