If my dad passed away and I’m his only son, how can I find out if he left me anything?
His wife of 6 years doesn’t talk to me about his financial arrangements. I heard he has a Will with a significant Trust for me. How does the procedure work? Am I entitled to anything?

I am so sorry for your loss. Unless he specifically disinherited toy then you are absolutely entitled to inherit from his estate. AS a beneficiary at law you should be receiving a copy of the Will and Trust. If his wife is not forthcoming I might speak with an attorney about writing a few letters for a flat rate fee. Good luck.
