I am the executor of my brother's will. He lived in Iosco County, died in Kalamazoo County and I live in Allegan County. Where do I have to file probate and is it ok to have a Allegan County lawyer if I file in Iosco County?

You will need to file in The county in which he lived. Any lawyer will be fine as long as they handle this type of case. It is fairly easy to do as I did with my father. The lawyer should handle all details of this process.
