How do I attain a copy of my mother's will?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Well, it should have gone to probate, but if your mother's plan was to leave her house to one child, she could have made that child a joint owner of the property during her lifetime (it's not a good idea, but it's done all the time). But if it went to probate, you'd have gotten notice of the probate at that time. There's no reason to think that the will still exists at this point. If there was probate, the court will have the will. If not, it may have been destroyed.

What can I do as the biological daughter if my step sister who was the executor of the Will did not follow what is stated in it?

No, it is too late. You might consult with an attorney to see if you have any rights as a pretermitted heir to part of the estate.

Is my mom liable for the bill or my dad's estate?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
If your father was receiving Medi-cal or some other government assistance, then the Medi-cal California dept. of Health organization is entitled to recover from your father's share of the house; the authorities will not ask your mother to leave; she is entitled her one half of the house value; the hospital may put a lien on the house. A transfer of the house to someone else will not avoid the lien as to father's share of the house. You should obtain the assistance of a lawyer experienced in Medi-cal-liens to negotiate with the hospital to not attempt to collect the debt/waive their claim to a lien.
