Re: last will in testament
File the will, and if there is any assets in the estate, it has to go through probate (normally). It should be no big deal though.
Re: last will in testament
Depends on the amount of money involved and the debts your father had.
The will needs to be filed and potentially probated.

Re: last will in testament
Dear Friend,
Sorry to hear about your dad. If real estate is involved (that is, if title to your dad's home was held only in his name, rather than in both of your names as joint tenants), or if there is more than $100,000 in personal property, then you must go thru probate. If not, then the process is much simpler. In either case, please feel free to contact me, if I can assist you in getting things resolved.
Sincerely,
Gerald P. Nordgren
