You can probably handle the paperwork without a lawyer if common assets are involved (house, bank accounts, insurance) and the will's terms are clear.
However, if there are potential disputes between the inheritors or significant tax liability is involved, you may need some help. An attorney can review documents for you, prepare an estate tax return, do some research, etc.
