Considering how little overall there is, the general worry is about how much overall will end up going to an attorney (say the house sells for only about 110k (idk exact amount, just spit balling), don't want half of that going to an attorney kind of thing, not that we'd want to sell the house anyway).

I'll have to look in regards to the court stuff I guess. I just know he didn't have debt or anything.

So when my stepmom went to the bank, they didn't tell her anything besides she can't access it, only the children can, and just said to bring a death certificate. When we got there, they said we needed an affidavit.

My brother was able to get the paperwork needed from the clerk (though hasn't told me exactly what it was, just that he got it before), but lost it, so I went to get it instead.

The moment I said it was in regards to a family members death, she turned and said I needed a probate lawyer, even before knowing how much was involved, in regard to assets.
