Am I entitled to anything from my fathers will
My father died about 4 years ago. He and my mother were divorced when I was very young, however, his name appears on my birth certificate. Am I entitled to anything in his will?

Depends on where you live. Entitled? If there is a Will he could have left you out.
Why has it taken so long for you to contest his estate?

I live in Florida and he died in Aiken Sounty, South Carolina. I don't know if he had a will or died intestate. As to why it's taken so long, in all honesty I really didn't think about it. Someone mentioned it, so I thought I'd look into it.

Call the Court that handles probate in Aiken County, SC, and ask if a Will was probated.

Nothing came up on the website. Does that mean he died intestate?

No it means either the records haven't been entered or his estate wasn't submitted for probate. Not everyone submits to probate. Usually assets are held jointly so the survivor can just get them outside the estate.
You will have to contact his survivors to see if you were mentioned in the will or whether there was a will. If there wasn't then its probably the estate has long been divvied up.
