talk to the lawyer, i think something can be done:)
talk to a real estate lawyer – that stuff can vary by state, so a lawyer would know your local laws… good luck!
If his will said you were to have his property then you own his property. Who else would own it? Technicly speaking when you were 7 you owned that property when he died. I would talk to a lawyer or the person who told you. You should be the one owning that property today! Good luck!
So someone screwed you out of it? Do you have a relative who has explained to you what happened to your inheritance? Was it put in trust? Yeah, lawyer would be good. You may have been ripped off. What do you have to lose.
You should talk to a lawyer. Do you know exactly what the will said? It may have said that you inherit his property when you turned a certain age. If you can try to get a copy of your fathers will, good luck
You’ll need to talk with a Family Law Lawyer from the sounds of it. The executor of the estate should have had provisions or made them to execute the will when you turned legal age and I beleive would have been required to do so at that time. You should still have some actions of recourse, but I wouldn’t put it off any longer. you should get a copy of the will, notarized or not, and bring it with you to the lawyer.
Laws vary by state, where did this all happen? Did the executor of the estate try and hide this from you? There are lots of questions unanswered that a lawyer will be able to ask and figure out your exact situation and best plan for moving forward.
There should be a lawyers referral service in your area, if you need assistance finding a competent one feel free to PM me.

your father wishes are in a notorized will, they would have been held in a trust. Contact his lawyer and or the law firm for a copy and see what they have done about it, also get a second opinion as some lawyers are dishonest.
You need to talk to a estate lawyer, one that deals in Probate & Wills. Even though this happened to you when your father passed away when you were 7 and you are 21 now – if a will was found (was there one at the time of his death, and if so, do you know who was the exacitor of the estate. Can you ask a family memember – or the attorney who handled the estate – you can go to the court house and look up past estate filings – court records (on your dad) If you have trouble, someone in the records department can help you………That will tell you who handled the estate- Good Luck.
