No. If an person dies owning property their estate must be probated in order for title to pass to the heir(s) legally. Until the estate is probated no one has the authority to convey the property by deed because they don't own the property.

NJ-Does a quitclaim deed prevent a credit card company from going after an estate?
Every state provides creditors with a certain period during which to make a claim against the estate. If they don't file a claim on time they lose their rights. On the other hand, if they made a claim and the property was conveyed during the time period set aside for creditors, the conveyance will be challenged. It would be viewed as a violation of the executor's obligations under the law. Consider also that title to real estate does not pass legally until the estate is probated. Therefore, no one can sign a quitclaim deed unless the estate has been probated. The answer is no. A quitclaim deed would not automatically stop a creditor. You need legal advice from an attorney who knows all the details.
