You have no claim to a "step father" inheritance. He is not related to you legally in any way
Without a will you would still not get anything, with a will you will only get what he leaves you, if anything
At least in the US, if her name is on the 401K and insurance it does not even go into the estate.
Now did you receive anything from your mom ?
