    Inheritance law California
    If my father (Californian citizen) dies and leaves per his will all his property to my step-mother, do I as his son receive a minimum share/amount?

    What happens when my step-mother dies? Am I automatically eligible for the inheritance?

    If your father leaves everything to your step mother, you are entitled to whatever she feels like giving you.

    Its his money - he can give it to whomever he wants.

    When she dies, it goes to whomever SHE leaves it to.
