Well that depends, what do you want to happen? If your father has a will it's his right to choose who to leave his property to. Just like you as an adult have that same right. Assuming you're an adult you would need to know what is in the will. Was there a will? Was it probated? Was an estate opened? Have you read the will? Have you reviewed the probate filings? What sort of property are we talking about? Is the property real property or personalty? What about his debts? Were there any debts? Who is paying those? Was there life insurance? Who was the beneficiary? Many unanswered questions.
