Best Answer

Title to real property does not pass to beneficiaries UNTIL the will is probated. Therefore, the answer is yes. No one has the authority to transfer the property until the will is allowed and an executor is appointed. Then, the probate process must be followed to alert creditors of the death of the decedent. Creditors who make a claim must be paid before any property is distrubuted to the beneficiaries.
