The estate must be probated so the title to the real estate can pass to the heirs legally. If the decedent had a will it must be presented to the probate court and an executor appointed. If there is no will the court must appoint an administrator and property will pass to heirs according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link. All liens against the house will have to be paid before anyone can take possession of the property.
