The only person who is in charge would be the personal representative. With or without a will. The lawyer has no authority. Visit kliszlaw.com to discuss in detail. Tim Klisz
I agree with attorney Klisz's analysis. Someone (who it is depends on what the Will says) needs to be appointed as personal representative, and that person will have authority to deal with the property and administer the estate.
