Ok so was your Father's estate entered in to Probate? Was there a Personal Representative appointed? It seems to me that whomever was talking is the place to go for information as well. Look and see what assets were in the Probate. If you were the direct beneficary of any death or retirement benefits then your Dad's employer would be the one to inquire upon as well. But start with court. And check lost funds with the state. Good luck.
