A: There is no such thing as a "pro bono lawyer." However, many lawyers will volunteer some of their valuable time to help out very poor folks who have very important legal problems and cannot afford to hire a lawyer.

"Gathering your father's property house or houses an land, bank accounts, vehicles ect." is not the kind of legal work that most lawyers will do for free. I suggest you gather some interested relatives and take up a collection to hire an experienced lawyer.
