Re: Estate
More information is needed. However, if your father died without a Will then his estate is distributed according to a set schedule, which gives the wife the 1st 50K plus half the remainder with the other half going to his children equally. The house would be part of the estate. You might have to ask the Surrogate's court to get involved if it is not already.
Re: Estate
The laws of the State of New York apply. The answer varies depending on who inyour family remained after your dad passed away.
