Re: will?
Call the probate court in the county of his residence at the time of death and see if probate has been opened for your father's estate. If not, then call an attorney in that county to represent your interests in the event there was not a will. You can represent the estate, as an interested party, in an heirship proceeding (this is what is done when there is no will), and you will be able to settle up the estate.
