Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Assuming the will is valid, you can file it for probate. Assuming there aren't a bunch of estate debts, or other complications, this is usually a straightforward process. You should probably speak with an attorney about this. Many attorneys (myself included) will review your case with you for free initially, or for a small consultation fee.

If your father had no surviving spouse and the four children you refer to are the only children your father ever had and the home is worth less than $50K, you could have someone do a small estate affidavit and order. If the home is worth more, then you must probate the will and yes either way you need a lawyer.
