Fee simple is the complete ownership of real property. When a person without a will dies owning real property their estate must be probated. The fee simple will pass to their heirs-at-law according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws of your state at the related question link provided below.

When a person dies without leaving a will, their property will typically pass through the laws of intestacy. In this case, fee simple ownership may be transferred to the deceased person's closest living relatives, such as their spouse, children, or parents. The specific distribution of the property will depend on the laws of the jurisdiction where the deceased person lived.

Fee simple is the highest form of ownership of real property. Fee simple is absolute ownership.

For example:A decedent died having a will and leaving their real property to their only child. The estate must be probated in order for legal title (fee simple) to pass to that child. If the estate is not probated that child would only own an equitable fee simple interest in the property. Their ownership would not be perfected until the parent's estate is probated.
