The person who will "acquire" the property must commence a probate proceeding in the probate court. That means you need to present the will for allowance and be appointed the executor or if there is no will you must petition to become the administrator of the estate. The only way for title to real property to pass to an heir is through probate court. You should seek the advice of an attorney who can assist you in this process.

Do they lock unowned houses?

There is no such thing as an unowned house. The builder who built it owns it first, then they sell it to an owner, who sells it to another owner, and so on. If it is foreclosed on, the bank owns it. If it left vacant after the owner moves away, that owner continues to own it. If the owner dies and no on inherits the property, the state owns it. Vacant houses are generally kept locked.
