If you are not a named beneficiary on the accounts, a probate estate will have to be opened for your father. If he did not have a will, his wife will be entitled to approximately the first $200,000 of his estate. Assuming there is no will and you are not a named beneficiary, my suggestion would be to contact his wife and try to come to an agreement so you both would be able to share those accounts. Please contact me if you decide to proceed with opening an estate 586-580-8850 or [email protected]
