If the house is an asset in a properly drafted living or revocable trust, the property may be distributed by the Personal Representative without filing in probate court.

It looks like the assets avoid probate, but it is unclear by your description about the homesteaded house. Both matters should be reviewed more clearly by a probate attorney.
