The facts present a clear case of fraud or undue influence. This is a civil matter for action by the heirs at law. It may also be actionable as financial elder abuse under the California EDAPCA statute. The heirs should immediately seek legal counsel from a California attorney who specializes in inheritance disputes. Or a civil fraud attorney.

What steps should I take to to claim inheritance if the deceased did not leave a will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
You need to retain a lawyer. Under Missouri law, the heirs at law are: the surviving spouse (entitled to the first $20,000 in value of the estate and one-half of the balance) and the children (or the descendants of deceased children) as to the other half. BUT, if your mother titled everything jointly between herself and your stepfather, well then he would be entitled to all of it. If an estate has not been opened, one may have to be. The first thing you should do is retain counsel.

If the person who signed the documents is still living the POA is effective. If the person who signed the documents is deceased, the will is the controlling document. If the persons are 2 different people, the living or deceased status controls who is in charge.
