How to probate an estate?

I was named the "independent administrator" of my grandmother's estate. She passed a few weeks ago. I and my brother are the primary heirs. I am finding very little on the internet about what exactly I have to do to probate the estate as quickly as possible.

The lawyer that drew up the will doesn't really do a good job of explaining things to me. I have found in life that the more educated you are, the more efficiently things go.

Does anyone have experience with this? The lawyer told me it should only take about 6 weeks. I am in Louisiana, by the way.
