Re: Seeking to view a deceased father's will
first of lets get one thing straight, only if your father died with assets in his own individual name without any beneficiary would probate of a will ever be applicable. If all of your father's assets were payable to your step-mom or were joint with right of survivorship, also the will does not apply. If the will needs to be probated you are by law an interested party and entitled to notice and a copy of the will.
