If my father died 14 years ago without a Will and our stepmother got everything, how do I find out what happened to the property that my father owned?
His wife got the life insurance, house and investments. I just recently found out that my stepmother passed away about 7 years ago.

I am so sorry for your loss and for the situation that evolved. You can have a property search done or go yourself to the county clerk or registrar of deed in the county in which the property was located. Look up the block/lot orother map designation for the property and actually look at the present deed. There are services that do that for you as well. Good luck.
