Check your Local Real Estate Probate Laws

The probate process in each state disposes of real estate once a person dies.

When a person dies, leaving behind property, that property gets distributed according to the state probate laws. Each state has different laws, so this process varies from state to state. However, there are some generalities that do exist in any probate case involving real property.

When a person dies, the property they leave behind is generally referred to as their estate. Under the probate laws in each state, probate property gets distributed either in accordance with a last will and testament, or the bylaws of intestate succession. Whenever real estate is part of an estate, these same procedures and rules apply, though, there are specific aspects of probate law that only applied to real property.
