The will must be submitted to the probate court to be proved and allowed. At the same time you petition to be appointed the executor. Once the court has allowed the will and appointed you as the executor it will issue Letters Testamentary in your name. You will have the authority to settle the estate according to the provisions in the will, the laws of intestacy and the laws governing probate in your state. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can guide you through the process. The actions of an executor are controlled by statute and there may be personal liability if the executor fails to follow statutory law. Most people need the expert advice of an attorney to carry out their responsibilities according to law and avoid any personal liability.

What if your fathers girlfriend leave the estate to the father but father dies before policy holder does the estate got to children of the father?
If the girlfriend is still alive then she can change her beneficiary. If she died and didn't change her beneficiary then you may have a claim if her estate went to your father. You should speak to an attorney. You refer to a "policy holder" in your question as well as an "estate". If the subject is a life insurance policy and your father was the beneficiary but was deceased when the insured died then be aware that the girlfriend probably named a contingent beneficiary on her policy.

How do you register car with no title or will when previous owner is dead?
You can not register a car that you do not own. The car is owned by the estate of the deceased individual. The estate gets the title and then you buy it from the estate. Some legal process must occur to distribute the estate of a person who has died. Usually, someone is legally named the executor of the estate and had authority to settle the estate in a manner consistent with a will, if one exists. If no will, exists, the executor still has the power to sell or give away the items owned by the deceased. Technically, it is the estate which owns the car, with or without a title. If you want to become the onwer of the car you must have it transferred by the estate. It is the estate (and the executor is the agent for the estate) who must acquire title to the car. With appropriate documentation, such as a certificate of death and legal documentation identifying the executor, the executor can request a new title from the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles. That title may be in the name of the deceased or in the name of the estate. The estate owns the car. Only after the estate has the title can the estate sell or gift the car to someone.
