What is the name of your state? I am in Texas, but my father died in Oregon.
Recently I found out my father died a couple of months ago. He and my mother divorced when I was very young, and he refused contact with me and refused court ordered child support at all, so obviously I am in the dark about his final years or his side of the family.
From calling the county records office to get death certificate information it sounds like I am his only child and that he was unmarried as his brother was listed as the next of kin.
I would like to know how I can determine the final destination of his estate, life insurance and other related things. Also if I am his only child do I have any rights to these things? What other rights do I have in determining information about him, his death, his life, and his estate or debts?
I understand this is a bit vague, but I really have no idea where to go or who to contact specifically with this issue.
Thanks!
