Good morning,

You provide very limited facts, however:

If your father was married to the other woman in community of property, she in any event receives 50% of everything.

If your father left a will, she will still get the 50% and the remaining 50% will be divided according to the will.

If your father did not leave a will, he died intestate. His wife will then get most of the estate if not everything.
