You need to talk to a probate attorney in your area. To settle your dad's estate, the funeral home will need to be paid as well as certain other debts - if he left any debts. You need to do the probate because it appears there is real estate (house) involved. Without a will, it will be difficult so you really need an attorney to help you.

Look on this website & on www.avvo.com for a probate attorney.

I'm sorry for your loss.
