If there is no will you are an heir at law. As to the bank account it depends how the account was titled. It may or may not be part of his estate.
Someone has to step up and get the estate probated.

You must have someone file with the register of wills office where your father passed to have an administrator appointed to start an estate. As a child you are one of the beneficiaries of estate of assets in your father's name alone. You should consult with an attorney immediately to see how the facts apply to this matter. You should do so immediately.
