What happens to a house if there is no will?
If there is no Last Will and Testament and the house was owned solely by the decedent, then the real property will pass by the laws of intestacy to the decedent heirs. If the real property is owned in a trust, then the trustee must follow the terms of the trust that relate to the real property.
What happens to property when the owner dies without probate?
Other owners or beneficiaries take control of the deceased owner’s assets by operation of law simply because they survived the deceased owner. Non-probate assets include assets owned jointly with right of survivorship, including tenancy-by-the-entirety property and some community property.
