Re: fathers death
If the will was probated, go to the probate court where he lived at the time of his death..there may be no will and no probate if he gave all assets away before death.
Re: fathers death
If your father died without a will his children outside of the present marriage (that would be you and any others out there) would inherit all of his separate and community property - you will need an attorney to help you with this...pronto! If he had a will, it can be viewed at the probate court in the county of his residence at time of death. Sorry about your loss.
