If you are the personal representative, the lawyer helping you with the probate should explain your duties. Basically, they are to gather the estate assets, pay all legitimate debts, account for all expenditures, and after approval by the court pay/distribute the assets to the heirs. You should not make any distributions to yourself (or any other beneficiary) until approved by the court at the end of the probate.

How long does a lawyer have to notify the heirs of a will details contained within the will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
The executor must give beneficiaries notice within 60 days of the probate of the Will. See Texas Probate Code 128A. However, the executor is not required to give this notice to a beneficiary who is to inherit less than $2,000 in property under the Will. Contact the county clerk in the appropriate county to see if the Will has been admitted to probate. If it has, and you are supposed to inherit $2,000 or more in property, then you should receive the required notice within 60 days.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Yes, if you are mentioned in the will, you can petition to open an estate. If someone else was designated, that person will petition. If there is no will, you can petition. The fact that you are out of state is not an impediment.
