Re: Dad no will step mother now in critcal condition
It depends on whether or not she has a Will. If not, then everything would pass to her son.
I am assuming that your stepmother was the beneficiary of your father's insurance proceeds. If she was not the sole beneficiary, then you may have a claim against her or her estate for a portion of those proceeds.
