Get your Dad to an estate planning attorney in your area as soon as possible to get advice and explore his options. As a rule, everyone needs to have a will with an independent executor appointed in the will so that you avoid the expense of a dependent administration in the probate courts. He can have a simple will prepared if his estate is not complex and save his heirs a lot of expense and trouble.
