Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
Creditors can file a claim against the estate. A will should be filed but unless enough assets no need for probate. Yes you can do it with a lawyer.

If the deed says that they were joint tenants with right of survivorship, then the whole property would go to your uncle (because he is the only surviving person named in the deed). If the deed says they were tenants-in-common, then you will need a probate court to distribute the property. You have to look at your grandmother's will and your father's will (and other estate planning documents) to see how the property should be distributed. This distribution could be complicated, so you may want to consult with an attorney.
