I would think the executor of your father's estate would need to get involved--you haven't said whether that is, in fact, you or someone else. The money is paid into his estate and then is distributed in accordance with the law, his financial obligations, and his will, if he had one. It may not automatically go to you--but this seems to be a question mainly of inheritance law, not immigration law, so you might want to find a forum which specializes in such questions.

Cash Bail Bond Refunds. If you personally posted a cash bail bond for a defendant, keep the receipt issued to you by the Clerk's Office when the cash was received by the Court. If the defendant appeared at all his hearings/trial and was sentenced, you are entitled to a refund of the bond money.
