An estate must be probated in order for title to real property to pass to the heirs at law or beneficiaries of the will. You should consult with an attorney before you accept that any "statute of limitations" has passed for probating the will.

The will must be examined and approved by the probate court in order to pass title to property to the beneficiaries named in the will. If the will is not allowed then an Administrator will be appointed and the property will pass according to the state laws of intestacy.

What is the difference between rights of survivorship and tenants in common in terms of property ownership?

Rights of survivorship and tenants in common are two ways in which multiple individuals can own property together. With rights of survivorship, if one owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s). In contrast, tenants in common each own a specific share of the property, which can be passed on to their heirs or designated beneficiaries upon their death.
