As a private investigator who specializes in locating missing heirs from cases across the country and around the world, the answer is...it depends. The rules on this issue vary from state to state. Since probate is a state-by-state area of law, there is no uniformity.
For example, in Michigan, three years after the personal representative or trustee has deposited money for a missing heir with the county treasurer, the court can grant another heir's request to redistribute the money. If nobody has claimed the money though, the missing heir can still claim it for however long with no statute of limitations.
In Ohio, the missing heir has five years after the administrator or trustee deposits the money with the county. After five years, the money belongs to the county. Some counties strictly enforce this five year rule while others have paid our missing heir clients twenty or thirty years after the fact.
Ohio and Michigan are just two examples. If you would like more information, feel free to e-mail me at mzwick@assets-international.com, call me at 248-557-4960 or visit our website at www.assets-international.com.

When you can an adult child get money from the death of her father?
It depends on whether you are a legal heir. If he left a will and you are named in it, you will receive your inheritance when the estate is settled. How long this takes varies, but it shouldn't be terribly long unless there's some kind of legal challenge. If he died without a will, the legal process takes longer and the division of the estate will be settled by the court. A person who dies without a will dies "intestate", and the closest living relatives are heir(s). Was your father married? If so, his spouse would be his heir over his children in an intestate situation.

Can an estate exclude step children?
Yes. Step children have no right to inheritance unless they were legally adopted. In most states, if legally adopted, they have rights of inheritance only if they are minors. An adult child can be disinherited as long as it is done properly by will. In an intestate estate, a legally adopted child is an heir at law. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.
