==One Answer: Estate Planning== Yes, in a number of different ways. For example, if the deed is in joint tenants with right of survivorship, the title transfers automatically to the Survivor. Or property can be owned by a trust, partnership, or corporation (among others) that obtains the property from one person and distributes it to another upon triggering by certain events (i.e., death).
==A Different Perspective== No. If a person died owning an interest in real estate that does NOT pass as jointly held property, the estate must be probated in order for the title to vest in the legal heirs. The heirs have no power to transfer the property until there is a settlement of the estate in the court of jurisdiction.
