I think that you would have been contacted by now. You say that they live in another country to you. Perhaps it would be worth checking the succession laws of that country and trying to trace his will via the library or public records office. The solicitor/executor may not have known where you were or how to contact you if you are abroad.
I think that in the UK to make a claim on a will you have to show that you were in some way dependent upon the deceased person. Did your dad used to give you an allowance or pay your rent or something? If so, you may have a chance to claim. Check with a lawyer - most do a fixed fee first interview. Check community legal services webby - cls-direct.co.uk, I think - for legal services in your area. Or go the the Citizens' Advice Bureau. They also have a helpful web that may be good for you. Can't remember the address now, though!
It is possible that after three years it's too late, but nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that.

Call your step mom and ask for a copy of his will or the number of your fathers state executor or attorney. Your local library is an excellent resource. ask the librarians at the answer/help desk who and how you would find the resources and info you need. you may even be able to get an answer over the phone

What do you assume to ensue a three hundred and sixty 5 days on? anybody to sit down down round crying each and every of the time? i imagine you've a disproportionate experience of ways human beings could behave after a demise. Sounds to me like anybody has moved on with their lives sucessfully. in the adventure that they have got ambigious thoughts about him they are continuously going to be frustrating to precise besides.

That's another reason why divorce keeps on hurting families. He was with a new family and their in and you're out. Divorce is not a one time hurt. It's the hurt that keeps on giving. You said you were a single Mom. Think about what happened to you and don't let it happen to your kids.

If your father had a will then it is public record, see if you can find it. If he did not, then everything went to his wife, that is how it works unfortunately. You can try an attorney, but with your limited resources I am affraid you won't be able to get far, I am sorry.

Probably you would have been contacted if there was anything for you. It is probably his wifes home as well.
I have never expected anyone to take care of me. It is work but it is worth it!

What are you out? Were you living with him at the time, relying on him for income/shelter/etc? Then why worry about it? You sound greedy to me.
