What is the name of your state? NJ
My father, who remarried, but had no other children besides me and my siblings died a few months ago...Feb. 2005. His spouse and her children have already begun to indulge in my father's assets. We all have seen a will in the past, but she said that he never had a will. From what we know, she has already started the probate process and has put up a $1,000,000 bond on the estate, which was suppose to include my grandparents estate and assets, as they died about 3 months before my dad.
Today we were told that she would be entitled to everything and would give us nothing. Can she do this? Is there anyway to reverse a decision already made, especially if we are his rightful heirs?
Also, my sisters were adopted, are they entitled to have a say or do anything in regard to being a PR?
