Your stepmother will inherit everything (including the responsibility to inform debtors of his passing) if there is not will. If you believe that there is a will that she is not sharing with you, then you will need to file an action against her with the probate court in the county where your father lived. You can also tell the probate court about your father's wishes concerning his headstone.
You can try to go about it yourself, but if there was a large estate or you think she is hiding a will and will need to track down the witnesses and the notary or lawyer that created the will you should probably hire a lawyer yourself, or it can be tied up in probate court for years! Good luck!

Do I have any recouse against my StepMother?
My Father passed on Sept. 15th. My step mother produced a single sheet of paper which claims everything was left to her. My Father merley requested a proper burial(which has happened) and a suitable headstone(which has not) Now is there such a law that states that the deceased children should be left something unless being disinherited in the will citing exact reasons? 2nd is there any action that could be brought forth with my step mother not having a suitable headstone placed at my Fathers grave yet nor has she even looked? 3rd is there not some sort of Probate that she needs to file in order for all creditors to have a chance to collect their debts from the estate? I'm just trying to find some kind of information becasue even up until my Father's passing he told me that I would be taken care of, yet the single sheet of paper that I've seen leaves nothing to me or my brother but all to our StepMother who isn't sharing. Would I even have a potential case here?
thank you,
