dad died with a will, named me exector, what else do I need to settle his small estate (1 prop and 1 bnk acct)

You need to file the will,and secure letters of administration from the court. Once you have that you can liquidate the bank account, and either issue a deed on the property to the new owner or sell it and make the proceeds a cash benefit to the estate. Distribute to beneficiaries is according to the will instriuctions.
If you are the beneficary of the property,you execute a deed from John Smith as executor of the Last Will anf Testament of Thomas Smith (deceased) to John Smith.
