You need to seek out the help of a probate lawyer to examine who the potential heirs are and if they all agree on what they want to happen. Typically this would involve a probate proceeding called an appliczstion to determine heirship followed by an agreed application for an independent administration.
You can not do this yourself. Hire a lawyer
