In order for title to real property to pass to the beneficiary legally, the estate must be probated. The "beneficiary" needs to provide proof to the tenants that they are the new owner of the property. The beneficiary's source of title is the probated will filed in probate court. If the beneficiary wants to have the property conveyed to her/him by deed, that can be arranged through the attorney who handled the estate. A letter from the attorney who handled the estate would be the appropriate way to notify the tenants of the new ownership. In fact, the tenants should have some official notification of the change in ownership so they know they are paying their rent to the right party. You should discuss this matter with the attorney who handled the estate and get some legal advice about your new role as a landlord.
