Default Inheritence from father

My father who died in feb -- I have not seen or communicated with him for 20 years. His wife (not my mother) is the reason for this seperation, which before they were married my father and I had a close relationship. She did not let me know he was dying and did not even mention my brother or I in the obituary. My question are we entitled to an inheritence?
Thank you

That depends on many factors--whether a will existed, what state/province you are in, your age etc.

...best to have legal counsel advise as you indeed may have some statutory rights.

My parents were separated and they have their own family. my father live in Los
angeles California and I live here in Philippines. I saw in the internet the
other day that he passed away last april 2007. I have no idea if I have
inheritance from him. Do I have the right to claim any inheritance?

I am going through a similar situation , If there was no will then it is intestate , it would be a percent to his wife and then to any children look up intestacy in your state and get a lawyer or go to the probate court in the town where he died
