You will need to find an attorney to represent you. I suggest you contact the bar association in the county where your father lives for a referral to an attorney in that area. It is difficult to handle his estate from a different state, but it can be done, although it's likely that you would need to make the trip at least once, in order to start the estate process. If you don't feel capable of acting, you can choose to resign your appointment, after your father dies and the will is probated.
