The estate must be probated and the court must appoint an administrator. The state laws of intestacy will determine who the heirs-at-law are. The debts of the decedent must be paid before any property is distributed. Once the probate proceeding has been completed the remaining property will be the property of the heirs at law.

Probate laws govern the distribution of a decedent's estate regarding creditors and heirs. If the court appointed estate representative mishandles the estate they are held personally responsible. If heirs convert assets to their own use, with or without the appointment of an estate representative, the "heirs" are held personally responsible and may find themselves in court for taking the decedent's property and not paying the creditors and/or the other heirs.
