I am sorry to hear about your loss. Assuming the property was held in as a joint tenancies with the right of survivorship then the property would have gone to your father. If he had no will then if he lived in PA, the property would go to you his child and wife together. If the property was a tenancy in common the answer changes and of course if he has a will then it changes too. Call me if you want to discuss further. Tom. 215-266-8544
What else was there in the estate? Did he owe any bills when he passed?
The likely answer is both of you but the details matter.
What part of Pennsylvania are you in? If the southeast make an appointment at my Delaware County office.
