When a decedent owned real property their estate must be probated for title to pass to the heirs. Also, the court must appoint a representative of the estate. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate law for the procedure in your particular jurisdiction.
In NJ, either the executor or the administrator will sign what we call an "executor's deed" where there is a will or an "administrator's deed" where the is no will. This is to formalize the transfer of the property. It is important to know that the beneficiaries or heirs technically own the property as of the date of death rather than the date of the deed. This deed is a formality only.

When parent dies without will can the adult children take possession of the deceased parent's property and assets in Florida?
That depends on whether your parent was married at the time of death and if yes, whether the surviving spouse is also your parent. If the surviving spouse is not also your parent then the estate will be shared 50/50 with the surviving spouse getting half and the surviving children by a first wife sharing the other half. If the surviving spouse is also your parent then the surviving spouse gets 100%. If there is no surviving spouse the children get 100%.It is likely the estate will need to be probated. You should seek advice from an attorney who specializes in probate matters and who can provide up to date information.https://www.thebalance.com/dying-without-a-will-in-florida-3504952
