You will need to see an attorney to determine the answer to this question. It will be entirely dependent on the state law in the state where your father resided before his death. When you visit with the attorney, you should take a list of your father's living and dead relatives including spouse, children, and parents. It is helpful if you mark the ones who are deceased in some way. In addition, if you know what assetts he owned and where they are held (bank, insurance, stock broker etc.) make a list of that also. Since his debts must be cleared, you should make a list of the debts of which you are aware. Finally, if you father died by any means other than old age, you should be prepared to relate the circumstances to the attorney.
My father recently passed away and did not have a will according to his current wife of 14 years. I am his first born. Do I have any rights to his assets?
No, you can't. First, you can't sue a parent for child support. Second, there is nobody to collect it from since your father has passed. However, if your father has an estate you could contact the attorney handling the estate or a private attorney to determine if you have any rights in his estate as an heir at law.
In most cases there will be none. The estate was left to the brother.
If the estate was not probated then the rights have not passed legally to the heirs. The estate must be probated. Until that has been done the heirs cannot exercise their mineral rights.If the estate was not probated then the rights have not passed legally to the heirs. The estate must be probated.

If your birth father allowed your step father to adopt you, you do not have rights to your birth father's estate where I am sitting; however, 10 feet behind me you do. See a lawyer.
That will depend on what the will says. In most cases, the bulk of the of estate would be expected to go to the spouse.
If he is not the natural son of the father, no. He is not a descendant and therefore has no rights to it. The divorce decree would have severed all of the rights between his mother and your father.
Oregon is not a community property state. The husband is not an heir of his wife's father. The husband has no rights in or to to the real estate.
None. You may have some rights, particularly if you were born after the will was written.
In general, children from a second marriage do not inherit rights or assets from the estate of their parent's previous deceased father. However, laws vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult with a legal expert to understand specific rights related to inheritance and estate laws in your region.
