Re: house deed
If one of the owners dies without a will, that person's heirs inherit their 1/3 share of the property. This will include the spouse and any children of the owner. If the person died without any surviving spouse or children, the heirs are the surviving brothers and sisters, if any. If there are no surviving brothers or sisters, the statute gets a little more complicated. At any rate, the heirs will need to be involved in the sale of the property.
