Someone should open a Probate Estate and list all of the heirs as well as all of the property. If he had creditors they will have an opportunity to file claims. The person handling the estate will need to work closely with an attorney and possible an accountant to tie up all of the loose ends, but in the end, there should be a distribution of the balance of the Probate Estate to the heirs. Obviously, you should consult with and hire an attorney who practices in this area.
