If there is no will or trust, you will need to go through probate in order to change title.
Re: keeping house with no will
given the way the question is worded and your "extensive paraledal knowledge" my best recommendation is don't do it yourself --- you will definitly screw it up. get an attorney who has an expertise in real estate --- are you amember of the family or just a para somethin with very little knowledge as someone with just a little knowledge would know what to do -- if you are a member of the family i would be weary of excommunication from the family and not having a place at the thanksgiving day table any time soon -- no will or trust means you have to use the court system with which you have no knowledge -- a probate attorney would be highly recommended
