They can file a petition in the probate court requesting a copy of the will.
ONLY if the Parent Co-Signed for the Debt. Otherwise NO.
In California the estate will be responsible for the debts of the deceased. Only after they are resolved can the estate be closed and any remainder distributed.
Whether or not you can collect your deceased parent's pension depends on the specific policies of the pension plan. In some cases, a surviving child may be eligible for a portion of a deceased parent's pension, while in others, only a surviving spouse or dependent may qualify. You should contact the pension plan administrator or consult a legal professional to understand your rights and eligibility.
If the child is a minor, yes, they are. If the child is an adult, no, they are not.
Ask them, though they don't have to answer. Other than that, there isn't a way to find out. They can file it with an attorney or even with the probate court, but it isn't public until it comes up for probate after their death.
It depends on what the deceased parent has put in their Will. If they said that the surviving parent takes care of any monies or property until you are the age of 18 or 21 then the surviving parent has the right to do so. Your surviving parent is probably keeping the money for you so you will spend it wisely when you are a little older (probably 18 if this is the legal age in your State) and this really isn't a crime. Many young people would race out and buy a new car and squander the money. Talk to your parent if you want further education or want to travel a little. I am sure they will give you the money if it's for a good reason.
That depends on whether your parent was married at the time of death and if yes, whether the surviving spouse is also your parent. If the surviving spouse is not also your parent then the estate will be shared 50/50 with the surviving spouse getting half and the surviving children by a first wife sharing the other half. If the surviving spouse is also your parent then the surviving spouse gets 100%. If there is no surviving spouse the children get 100%.It is likely the estate will need to be probated. You should seek advice from an attorney who specializes in probate matters and who can provide up to date information.https://www.thebalance.com/dying-without-a-will-in-florida-3504952

You and siblings would receive your deceased parent's share UNLESS your grandmother's will specified that if any of HER children were deceased then their share would go to THEIR surviving siblings.

You should call the attorney who is handling the estate to ascertain what your interest may be.
