Your father or his sister or both can act as administrator to take out Grant of Administration (probate) if they wish. The children of deceased siblings will inherit per stirpes the share of the deceased parent between them. If there is land involved an auctioneers valuation will be required so that the solicitor/administrator can complete the Inland Revenue Affidavit. The original death certificate will be required. An Administration Bond may need to be taken out (it is listed as a requirement for Dublin Probate Office in Intestacy cases although some rural solicitors applying to District Probate Registrys opt not to take it out) and this can be expensive (this is an insurance policy and must cover twice the value of the estate, premiums can be quite high).
There is a lots of information on courts.ie website setting out the list of things required, the fees involved and the Inland Revenue Affidavit is quite straightforward (again with guides on completing available online). Probate Office are very helpful with queries also for a personal application.
