What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
My father died right after thanksgiving. But now I'm having difficulties with my step mother. They were married almost ten years. I was not left out of the obituary, but she would not allow me to be a part of planning his service so subsequently the memorial service covered only the time they were together. Never mentioning his only daughter (he and my mother adopted me when I was two months old), his six siblings, nor the thirty years my parents were married. Now she wont let me see the will. All she has told me is that "of course" my father had a will and left her "everything". I can't get a copy of it, but I think my being left out was "accidental" and I was not disinherited. Do I have any recourse action I can take? Im not trying to get any money, but there are personal items (like family furniture and odds and ends) that I would eventually like to have. My father and stepmother never had any children.
