No. Generally, equitable title to real property passes to the heirs upon the death of the decedent. However, the estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to the heirs. Title is never in the estate. If there is a deed change made it is changed to the names of the heirs once the estate has been probated. Deeds are not changed to reflect the estate of the owner.
