Look in the obits until someone your age and gender dies. Contact social security and let them know you (dead person) lost your card and have one mailed to you. Use that to get your drivers licensed reissued. Obviously this is illegal...big brother is watching.

You need to speak with an attorney who specializes in family law and preferrably has experience in handling estates as well. With your Father having no will I believe you and your sibling(s) are entitled to a portion of his estate. How much I don't know. Depending on which state you live in you may be able to find some information online. If you can tell us which State I'll help you look and post back here links that I find. \n\nI am so sorry for your loss. At 22 you shouldn't have to deal with this. \n\nIf your parents were legally separated that may be a good thing. You did mention having proof with some type of legal documentation. \n\nIf I were you I would get as much of your ducks in a row as possible before confronting your Mother. \n\nGood Luck.. I hope you are successful.\n\nBren... you don't allow email. Start here.... \n\n1-800-221-9576  It is a phone number for the Legal Consumer Guide for California.

Trot down to the probate court.  They have to open an "estate" and the will should be on file there.

If you know where the person lived and died you can find the information by contacting the probate or family court in that county.  They would have all this information on file there.  If you don't know what city, but you knew what state, there might be a general registy in that state.  Call a probate office and they would be able to tell you more information, then.

Anywhere, no matter where you work, you can and will be lawfully allowed to show a certified copy of the death certificate.  Wherever the death certificate is on file (i.e. register of deeds, court house, etc.) have them give you a certified copy.  There may be a fee, such as $5.00.  That should work and be perfectly acceptable.  Those type of certificates are very valuable and extremely difficult to replace if lost.  Therefore, almost everywhere will allow certified copies.

Only if your lucky can you find a copy of a family trust at the local county courthouse.  Depending on the state which you are from, a trust is not required to be recorded and not a matter of public record.  Only trustees and trustors have access to this information.  Especially the originator of the family trust.

Easy. Go the the County Recorder's Office in the county that the child was born and request a copy. There will probably be a small fee.

As to real estate: go to the registry of deeds where his deeds would have been recorded and look his name up. You may be able to do this online in some places.\n\nAs for a will or probate of the estate: go to the probate court where his estate or will would have been probated (usually the county he died in or was his residence when he died) and look his name up.\n\nThese are all public records and do not require a lawyer.\n\nIf there was a probate of the estate, there should be an Inventory (a list of all the property he owned at his death - it may not be very detailed, but anything worth money should be separately listed.\n\nIf there was no probate, then you will only be able to find out about the real estate.

Do a search for the county newspaper or the city if you know where he lived.  Which state is this county in?  If the newspaper is online you could probably find the obit from there.  If there is a big city close by you might want to check out their newspaper as well. You could also contact the funeral home and ask for a copy.

It is best to start with the Obituary of the town news paper where the family member resided.  Many towns has on-line newspapers.  If the town of the deceased does not have an on-line newspaper; you'll need to go to the libraby of the township to search archives. Or you could try locating the local church the family member attended.  You can also try speaking to neighbors of the deceased if it has been less than 7 years of interment.
