The person who will "acquire" the property must commence a probate proceeding in the probate court. That means you need to present the will for allowance and be appointed the executor or if there is no will you must petition to become the administrator of the estate. The only way for title to real property to pass to an heir is through probate court. You should seek the advice of an attorney who can assist you in this process.

∙ 14y agoThe estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to the heirs. Someone must petition to be appointed the executor (with a will) or the administrator (without a will) of the estate. Until someone is so appointed no one has the legal right or authority to manage the property. The heirs should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law for guidance.
If the decedent left no heirs, someone should notify the town clerk, the state or the Social Security Commission and a public Administrator must be appointed. If no heirs can be found the decedent's property will escheat to the state.
Generally, intestate property passes to next of kin in the following order:
spouse and children, if none then to parents, if none then to siblings, if none then to grandparents, if none then to aunts & uncles, if none then to first cousins etc.
