If the person died owning real property their estate must be probated in order for title to the real property to pass to the heirs legally. Until that is done no one owns the property legally. The decedent's property cannot be distributed until their debts have been paid. You need to contact an attorney who specializes in probate law.

Real property is transferred by a deed. The owner must convey the property by executing a quitclaim deed to the grantee and then the deed must be recorded in the land records.
