If the decedent died owning any property in their own name the estate is responsible for paying their debts. The creditors and any unknown heirs must be provided with the opportunity to make a claim against the estate. If there is real property, title will not pass legally unless the estate is probated. If there are personal bank accounts the administrator will need letters of administration to access the funds and close the accounts.
