Deceased owners no will

How can I help these sellers? The parents owned the home which have since passed away. The parents left no will but the mother wanted the son to live in the home since he is mentally handicapped. The rest of the family want to get rid of the home since it is too much for the brother and want to get him in some sort of assisted living. They were advised to get a lawyer to get the deed in the brothers name in order to sell it, since it is still in the deceased parents name. This will cost them roughly $800 which I mentioned I could help in fronting them this money if I were to put the home under contract and just take it back in closing. I'm not really sure as to how to help them in getting the deed in the brother or any of the sisters name in order for them to be able to legally sell it. Any ideas as to what I should advise them to do? This is in Indiana.
