Dealing with making arrangements for a loved one that past?

What are the first steps? I've never had to go through this myself. I have a family member who passed on, out of state, no will, there is inheritance involved but some other minor detail s need to be worked out. Can anyone refer me to someone who could refer me? Not a barter. Just maybe someone in will and probate I guess?

I'm not even sure. So that's why I ask.
Find an estate lawyer in that area.
You're going to need lots of documentation
Main one being a death certificate
Did you have any kind of POA regarding said person?
Taken care of. Thanks all. This was for a friend.
