Do I need a CA or NY Attorney and does this need to be probate?

You need to obtain the services of a probate litigation lawyer to sort this out for you; not enough information is provided as to which state licensed attorney to use. If you are in California, start off with a California lawyer who can assist you.

Does a will supersede a prenup?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, if he makes a will leaving you things, that would "trump" the pre-nup. But if he dies without a will, having no children, probate law would say that you inherit everything. I'm frankly not sure how the pre-nup would work in that case someone would have to bring it into court; anyway, a contract between two people shouldn't be able to override state law. Someone would have to analyze the pre-nup itself, it's exact terms, in order to have a good answer for you. It may not even be valid at all.

How do the children go about inheriting the property or does it go to his wife?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
Which state did your dad live in? Different states have different laws for who inherits and for the procedure used to transfer property. In California, your stepmother would inherit a portion and you and your siblings would inherit a portion. You should talk to a probate attorney in the state where your dad lived.
