Under all states in this country there is a process to probate or administer a person's estate that is $100,000 or less in a quick and inexpensive manner. Most states have forms that are pre-printed to assist in such a limited estate probate and administration that can be obtained online or through your local county law library.
I suggest that you consult with a wills and Trust attorney to assist you concerning your question and the the best means to conclude your father's estate.
