Absolutely. If there is no will, and he was remarried, half of his estate goes to you and the other half goes to his spouse. You can file to be the personal representative of his estate. Gather all his assets that he had when he passed away, and distrobute them half to her and half to yourself.
If he owned very little, you can file a small estate affidavit. If you can afford to, you should make an appointment with a local estate lawyer and pay a consultation fee. It will be well worth it.
