In the absence of a will, you are entitled to share in his estate. If there is a will and it is filed for probate, you will receive a Notice of Probate. At that point you will have certain rights; to examine the will, depose the attorney/draftsman of the will, etc. If the estate is substantial, you may want to retain counsel.
