In James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues," the narrator suggests that he and Sonny were estranged due to a combination of personal struggles and a lack of communication. The narrator grapples with his own pain and societal pressures, which create a barrier between him and Sonny. Additionally, Sonny's pursuit of music and his experiences in the world of jazz diverge from the narrator's more conventional life, leading to misunderstandings and emotional distance between them. Ultimately, their estrangement reflects deeper themes of family, identity, and the challenges of understanding one another's choices and suffering.
No, you have no rights to change your father's will.

Jon Gosselin is not estranged from his parents. His mother appeared on several episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8, including "Sextuplets Turn 3!". The children refer to her as "Gammy". Jon's father passed away when the sextuplets were 2, according to the book Multiple Blessings.
If had access to their birth certificates and he was clearly the father, yes he could.
According to rumors, I've heard that Kate is estranged from her family. Kate supposedly did not appreciate the six gently used crib donated by her father's congregation because they didn't match.
If your father is living you are not entitled to a copy of his will. If he is deceased and his will has been filed for probate you can obtain a copy from the court. Once a will has been filed it becomes a public record.
Yes. The child would need a court appointed guardian to advocate for him in court.
They can certainly contest it, but not clear they would have the proof necessary to overcome the presumption that the father knew what he was doing. It may be safer to list all of the estranged siblings individually and say, each one "gets nothing" or "gets only my sympathy", or the like.
There is a line of thought that he was in a plot with his mother (Philip's estranged wife) to kill him. He was certainly the great beneficiary.
Showing the power of reconciliation
It is a tradition but it is your wedding and you choose how you want it. take your father in a separate room and explain why and he will understand. ANOTHER OPINION: It would probably hurt his feelings not to be asked... if he raised and loved you up until this point. If you and he are estranged and/or he was never really in your life, then it is up to you to decide who to give the honor of walking you down the aisle to.
You file a claim with the court (they should have a form you can use) along with proof that your father owed you the money. Once you file it the executor must pay the debt.
