Did your father have a Will? If so, that determines just how his estate is distributed. If he didn't have a Will, then he died "intestate". This means that state intestacy law controls the distribution. Typically, such an estate is divided between the surviving spouse, if any, and the remainder to the children of the deceased. The exact percentage varies from state-to-state.
