My father died in 2020 without an official written will. His wife, my stepmother, had a lot more legal power and money than my sister and I. We were barely able to get our family photos from the house after he passed. He intended on us having a piece of land that he had purchased and completely paid off. We received a letter in the mail from probate court and her lawyer Regarding the estate and property about 7 months after his passing. When I initially got the letter, I read over it, and felt Ike it was useless to respond to the letter. My sister and I knew we were up against old money and we were both very broke. We have had a history with this woman, and we decided it would be best that we go no contact.
A few days ago, I was rummaging through old papers, and I came across that same letter. When I opened it, a small sticky note fell out. I had never seen that note prior to a few days ago. Written on it was an account number and account type “511.1”
What does any of this mean please?
