Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

If an man died owning only 1/4 interest in real estate and that interest is only about $20,000 and he died without a will and has only one son and was unmarried. Can the heir sign his father interest by way of a deed and not open an estate for this, because he has nothing else. Is there a form that can be filed stating no estate necessary for this. He died almost 6 years ago.

His son would be best served by opening an estate. This will make it easier for him to sell his share when the time comes.
