Very common misconception about a Will. A Will just tells the probate court what you would like to happen when you are gone. If he did not have a will then the probate court will make the decisions for him using current law in the state of residence. If the estate not covered by TOD's or POD's is over 20k or so you are much better off just paying an attorney to take care of it. Probate is a pain in the butt and will proceed faster under the direction of a professional. IMO Peace be with you
