Generally, if your father was not survived by a spouse, you are his only heir. His estate must be probated and all his property will descend to you if he had no will. Property passes according to state laws. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below.

You should contact an attorney ASAP who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.

No, the right of survivorship typically applies to property held in joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety, and it allows the interest of a deceased co-owner to automatically pass to the surviving co-owner(s).

The way the property is titled determines who takes ownership. If the property is titled as Joint Tenants or Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship, the surviving person(s) named on the deed receive the entire property and it is not subject to probate distribution. If the property is titled as Tenants-In-Common, it is subject to probate distribution as required under the laws of the state in which the property is located.
