I am so sorry for your loss. If you are the Executor of the Will you would file a Petition to offer the Will in to Probate in the County in which the decedent resided at the time of his or her death. There are different types of probate like an independent administration where the executor does not have to post a bond. And certain assets pass automatically, like community property of those with designated beneficiaries ( like life insurance policies). I would speak with a lawyer on a consultation basis. Good luck.
