In North Carolina, if there is no will, the deceased's estate would generally be distributed according to intestacy laws, prioritizing spouses and then children. If witnesses claim the deceased left the estate to his brothers, this may need to be proven in court, and the court would consider evidence and applicable laws to determine the rightful heirs. Ultimately, it would depend on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.

If a person died owning real estate their estate must be probated in order for title to pass to the heirs. If the will cannot be found then the property will pass as intestate property. In that case you will need to petition the probate court to have an administrator for the estate appointed. The property cannot be sold until the probate process is completed because until then there is no legal owner.


What can you do if heirs can not be found to sign off on warranty deed?

That is a serious legal situation. A decedent's estate that has real property must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs legally. If there are heirs that cannot be located the administrator or executor of the estate can petition the court for a license to sell the real estate. It can then be sold during the probate proceeding. You need to consult with the attorney who is handling the estate or hire an attorney to handle the estate if a probate has not been filed.
