Q: My father had no spouse but children
My father died intestate but he had no spouse but had 3 children from his ex spouse my mother
A: This question is best answered by a lawyer who specializes in estate work - my suggestion is that you look for a lawyer who specializes in estates and trusts and schedule a consultation with him / her. I dont know how much money your dad had at the time of his passing or whether he owned any real estate but presumably if he died without a will and had no spouse at the time of his death, then his assets would pass to his children in equal share.... but you need to talk with a lawyer to find out what the next step is and whether its worth spending money on retaining an estate lawyer.
