Your state laws will have determined the "intestate succession" of your father's estate, absent a will, meaning the law divided the property. Some states give the entire estate to the surviving spouse; others divide it with the children, meaning the minor children may have received half the father's estate "in trust".

Look up your state "intestate succession" and visit the courthouse where the father's estate was probated in 1979 to see how it was distributed. If it wasn't properly probated, you will need an attorney to figure out what rights you may have.

Can a mother file for abandonment if she will not let the children go with the father?

It would be cruel to file abandonment charges against the father simply because he had no way of picking the child up. Arrangements could have been made. It is time both parents thought of the child and not themselves. If the father tried his best then accept it; if he is a dead beat father and the mother cannot rely on the father then file abandonment charges.
