From Oklahoma, but I think this is a general question...
Father just passed without a will. I need a document saying I am the Executor of his Estate. A lawyer told me that we need to have documents signed by all of his kids saying they do not contest the fact that I am the executor (he was divorced, so mom doesn't count.) Then that has to be filed with the court. He wanted to charge about $1,000 altogether when it was all said and done.
Could I just get whatever required documents, have them sign the documents, and file them with the court myself? Is there a list of steps I can do myself to make this happen?
