Who gets your money if you die without a will?

Do credit card debts die with you?

Do I have a right to see my fathers will?

Neither you nor your brother have an inherent right to see your father’s will until he has passed away and it is lodged with the probate court. When that happens, your father’s will becomes a public record that anyone can see. If your father created a trust to avoid probate, it’s even more private.
