You can get some info from the county courthouse. \n\nBut what you really need to do is contact a lawyer in your city to help you with what you need. \n\nYour first contact over the phone should be free so you can see if they are right for you. If they can't give you 10 minutes on the phone for free to ask a few questions, then call someone else. They will outline the process and you will get a feel for if you want to work with them. If there is anything you don't like about them call another. Someone will be able to help you that you get along well with.

It depends upon how the property was owned by your mother and step-dad.  If their names were listed as John Doe and Jane Doe, joint tenants, then your step-father became the sole owner once your mother died.  If that happened, once your step-father died, the land passed down according to his will or to his heirs if he died without a will.  As a stepchild, you are not considered one of his heir if he died without a will.\n\nYou really need to go to the county courthouse to see how the land was titled when your mother was still alive. Once you have that information, post a new question on her stating exactly how the official records showed the way the land was owned, leaving out the actual names of course.

The easiest way would be to order a title search. The title report would disclose any liens against the property, who the current owner of record is, easements, mineral claims, etc.

Take the will to the courthouse in the county where the deceased person resided.  There should be a court office set up for helping people in your situation.  In my state its called the Probate Court. They will probate the will and give out documents that will allow the executor (person designated by the deceased person to wrap up his affairs) to go to banks etc. and do whatever the deceased person could have done if still alive.  Its usually just a matter of filing forms.  I would avoid the expense of a lawyer unless the estate is complex or you anticipate litigation amongst family members.

If you know the county they lived in and the name, approximate age you can contact the county courts system they should have a death certificate on file or you can go thru the social security office for deaths as well.  Good Luck to you.

The trust fund may have contained the entire estate with nothing left for the will.  A probate for your mother should have been opened and thw will submitted for probate even if no assets left for will to dispose of.  If this is the case the probate record is open as a public record at the court house where your mothers estate would have been probated.  Surely you have a copy of the trust agreement?  This should give you the right to audit the trust accounts if you are a beneficiary.  See a lawyer in the county where your mom lived or died won't cost that much to clarify everything for you.  Remember trusts hold the assets for you after death and OUTSIDE of any will.  The will can only take care of those things that are not in the trust.

You need to speak to an attorney about your rights and obligations.  Also, why not speak with her financial advisor to find out what, if any, plans are in place concerning your mother's death.

An estate or family law lawyer can help.  Call your local Bar Association for a listing of attorneys in your area.

You'll probably need an attorney because they have more resources and will know more about what is realistic. Be prepared to pay for the investigation. They will also need to know dates, bank names, anything you can tell them.\n\nYou can start yourself if you want to try by checking the local probate courts that would have been used - that would be where she was when she died, most probably. The probate will be public record.

I'm not in Australia but all property laws work the same, or  people could not buy and sell inherit etc.  Go to the court records for the jurisdiction where your father died.  Bring as much information as you have.  date of death, date of birth etc.  Remember that things that are in joint title like homes real estate and farms pass outside of probate because of joint tenancy.  There is a time limit to file and probate a will check and see what yours is?  Probate has to be opened within that time period so that is all you have to check for a will that was probated.  Any will not probated within that period has no force if not recorded and approved by a court during the time of probate.  No sense lookin for it then.

I have no clue aside from finding where they kept their important files / papers / documents (car title, mortgage receipts, contracts, etc) and look  through them.\n\nUsually the closest relative has access to these papers.\nI would guess a slow painful manual search calling insurance companies giving them the name and address of the deceased may help, but would be as I said.., painfully slow.
