Best Answer

The parent is deemed intestate and their estate must be probated. Any estate that contains real property must be probated in order for title to pass to the heirs legally. The property will be distributed to all the legal heirs will inherit according to the laws of intestacy in your particular jurisdiction. Generally, if there is no surviving spouse the property goes the decedent's children and the children of any deceased child. See related question link.
