Father died -no will

My father died 2years ago with no will. he was divorced from my mother 3 months prior to death. My siblings & I have maintained his house (paid for) and paid some of his taxes but cannot afford to start probate process. His estate is small, just a home& 2 cars & bank account. do we require a lawyer? can we start probate w/o lawyer?
