So please clarify this, including the state he lives (or lived) in. But if in fact she has filed an affidavit that doesn't mention you then she has committed fraud. You should engage an attorney to see how to contest the affidavit.
Also - what do you mean by "he claims me as his child"? Are you talking about claiming you as a dependent on his income taxes? Or do you mean he publically acknowledges his paternity?
Yes my father has passed away in 2003. I'm not sure who made her the executor but she listed all the children by her mother. My father publicly acknowledge me as his daughter and so do they. But it came down to his little property, it seems like the are not owning me now. Can I file a AFF of corrections or I am I too late, since she did this in 2004? I just found out she did this last week.
