My biological father just passed. His wife my "step-mother" states that I have no right to anything of my father's belongings.
I live in Idaho and they live in upstate New York. To be honest I know very little of my father an vise/verse.
I am the only child he has. So I guess the only heir other then his wife. He had no will when he passed.
His wife feels that since I really had no relationship with my father other then a letter or card or phone call. I have no right to any of his belongings. Other then some pictures. Being the eldest of 2nd born generation in America. My dad and his brother first gen. That there are family heirlooms that need to stay with in the family and not to his wife. This has nothing to do with money. This is family history that could be lost forever and never gained back.
I am 46 and they had been married 42 yrs. I am not trying to get their house or insurance money or anything other then what I have stated previous.
