What is your age?

As a minor dependent of your father you may be entitled to Social Security benefits as a dependent survivor.

As a minor dependent of a disabled veteran you may be entitled to survivor benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

If you father was a disabled veteran he must have been in the military. If he was retired from the military you may be entitled to dependent survivor benefits from the military.

You may file claims with each of these agencies to determine whether or not you are eligible. Or, if you are too young, you may have a "guardian ad litem" file the claims on your behalf.
You do not need the permission of your step mother to file these claims on your own behalf. These are benefits that you, yourself, may be legally entitled to.

Good luck.

In California, is it a requirement for the coroners office to do an autopsy?

My brother passed away at home unexpectedly. The mortuary says they wont do an autopsy but will use his medical records to determine the cause of death. We want an autopsy done because we feel his doctor possibly over medicated him and never gave a definite diagnosis for his health problems.

An autotpsy is required when someone dies under undetermined or suspicious circumstances or while not under the care of a doctor who will sign the death cert. You can have an autotpsy done at your own expense if the state will not perform one.

Sorry about your brother. Let me give you 50 cents worth of free advice. Try to let it go. Unless there are some definite signs of medical malpractice, all you will be doing is prolonging the suffering. I know it’s easy for me to say. But untimely deaths like this always leave people looking for answers that sometimes are not there.

Peace out.
