Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
You can contact the probate court in the county he was domiciled to see if she filed the Will. If no Will, you should check the intestate statute where he lived. In Delaware under the intestate statute when a spouse and children that are not children of both spouses, the children are entitled to receive a portion.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Generally no, the family is not responsible, but assets remaining in father's estate might be, depending on value. The question discusses death benefit as if that is the only asset. If that is the case, the death benefit is not an asset of his estate and may not be assessable for payment of the father's debts. Also, if mother/wife or children signed any documents agreeing to be responsible for father's debts, then it would be those agreements, not the law, that would make them responsible.
