Re: estate
Real estate passes according to the law of the state where located. I understand your father died owning property in W. Va. If he had a will, the will controls. If he died intestate after June 6, 1992, the real and personal property passes to his wife and children, if he had children from a prior marriage or otherwise. The distribution is 50/50.
