If there is a house, submitting the Will to probate and getting appointed executor will stop the mortgage lender from foreclosing for six months, giving you a chance to sort things out. The home and up to $60,000 in personal property (such as the car) can also be set aside for you and the children, protected from creditors other than a mortgage lender or a auto lender.
If there is no home, a certain amount can still be set aside for you and the children.
Depending on your income, Volunteer Legal Services in your area may offer free legal representation and the court may waive filing fees. If you do not qualify, Lawyer Referral Services has a "modest means" program.
