What to do if I’m named as the executor of my father’s estate?

The good news is that there is no estate – no assets, no property. There are items listed in the Will but they no longer exist. The personal possessions listed are no longer in his possession, and there are no monies, insurance benefits or anything else. What legal responsiblities do I have to put this to bed? He lived in another state.
