What do I do now?

Kittyrules

So my father passed in January. Home didn't tell me, my brother who my father had disowned was the only one contacted, he lives in Scotland. The home registered death. 

I am the sole beneficiary and excuter of the will. His solicitors have his will. He had graudianship who has house keys etc. 
We are still waiting the will and keys etc. We wish to ask co-op to do probate as I am just not in the mental state. 

What do I need to do? I am confused. I don't know if his benefits, banks etc have been stopped or closed? Am I legally responsible right now for things? I am worried I am going to be in trouble for things not be closed or stopped. 

I keep hearing the solicitor graudianship isn't responsible at all anymore but we don't have the will, or keys and don't know any of the information to give to the co-op? 

Can anyone help please? 

Thank you

So did your father live in Scotland or was it your brother who lived in Scotland?
