Given what you described, the estate will have to be in probate to settle the matter of the home ownership. To settle title you will likely be forced to participate in the probate settlement.

Can I just go in and remove my father's belongings

Damien Matthew Bosco
Answered by attorney Damien Matthew Bosco (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Damien Bosco, P.C.
Hello: I am an Attorney in New York. The named executor in the Will can petition the court to probate the Will to represent the estate to gain access to the premises of the decedent. When there is a need to act fast, the executor can request preliminary letters testamentary. An executor named in the Will may file with the court a written request for issuance of preliminary letters testamentary. One reason is to obtain access to the premises of the decedent to preserve and inventory assets. At the same time, if the decedent had been living with someone at the time of death, that person has a right to stay on the premises as a tenant that is entitled to proper notice to vacate the premises according to the landlord-tenant laws. If the tenant is refusing access, there may be a need to request judicial intervention to get a court order for entry.

If you refuse to sign a receipt / release or consent to probate, you will be cited to return to court on a specific date. If you refuse to appear, you will "default" which will act as a consent without having to sign anything or appear anywhere.
