Answer 1

seek legal advice immediately

Answer 2

1.) Notaries are not allowed to notarize their own signatures. Moms could lose her notary license.
2.) Probate hasn't happened.
3.) Did your ex leave a will? If not, then this whole thing has to go to court and be probated. The judge makes a decision. Who gets what and how much depends on the state in which he resided.
4.) Hire the best attorney you can afford NOW. See if he or she will take your case on a percentage contingent fee.

Answer 3

by law, your son has the lawful right to everything, he is first in line; if no offspring then to his Mom ; there is such a thing as fraud and you can't sign and notarize your own signature; was an estate opened?? Did your ex have a will ? You really need to get a lawyer to safeguard your son's inheritance; also to get social security for your son?? you don't say how old he is ???

Answer 4

You need to contact a lawyer, and let him do your legal work for you, on behalf of your son. You need to get a death certificate. and you son, if a minor is entitled to him fathers social security.
