Where can I inquire about a last will and testament?

Answered by attorney Donald Keith Broad (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Broad Law Firm, LLC
If you are a beneficiary or potential beneficiary, you can challenge the will but you will have to show that it was not proper under the law or that a more recent will exists. However, to show the latter, you will have to actually find the more recent will. There is no one place that wills can be found. You should check desks, file cabinets, bank safe deposit boxes, safes, and attorney's offices where you think the deceased may have done business.

You will need to open some kind of probate proceeding to allow for the transfer of your father's interest in the property to its rightful owners.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Yes, you can refuse to sign. But something has to be done; either the estate is administered and you get half of the house (or proceeds of sale of the house)[assuming only two siblings, no spouse] or else you disclaim your inheritance and your brother gets it all. If you won't disclaim, and you won't accept your half, then the estate administrator will have to turn your half over to the Division of State Lands, I suppose.
