I was executor on my father's estate. It was not fun - it was like I couldn't just bury him and go on, I had to go through reams of paperwork for months afterward, and it was likely burying him all over again every session. My sister and I ended up as co-owners of his house, and so that was more paperwork as we arranged to sell it and then get the proceeds split between the two of us.
Try to get a recommendation for a good lawyer who specializes in estates. It can be a big help. I didn't particularly warm to mine, but he did well by us.
