Fathers Estate
My father passed away Aug 03. He was remarried to a woman with 3 kids, he has 2 kids, they have 0 kids together. Stepmother stated father has no will & no life ins. They lived on a farm and owned a business. Stepmom has sold the farm, and is now closing in June on selling the business. Does his 2 children have any rights to anything that he invested his life in???? Is step mother obligated to give his 2 childern anything upon her death??

Re: Fathers Estate
Under the facts you described, it is likely that the two children from before teh marriage to the surviving second spouse. How much and what, is dependent upon many factors not covered by your fact description. Was there an estate opened for the man? It might be too late.
