Re: Is this true
Unless the property was title as "joint tenants with right of survivorship" you would get 1/3 when the property sells. Your father would also get 1/3. The remaining 1/3 would go to the estate of your mother and would then be distributed according to her will, if she had one. If not, your father will likely get what is left of the estate's 1/3 after your mother's creditors and other estate expenses are paid.
