If it's a decent size estate I suggest a probate lawyer. Ask around because some of them are very shady. Once you have a lawyer you can apply for I can't remember what it's exactly called but it's like temp executor which will allow you to handle funeral arrangements and charge it to the estate later. As for stuff most of the things with small value can be easily split with a mutual agreement between heirs. It's the expensive things that draw the attention...Property Vehicles etc.
