If the homeowner dies without a will (called dying "intestate"), and without a spouse, then the daughter gets everything. The fact that the homeowner died does not trigger a need to sell the home -- the daughter will simply inherit the home. It is up to the daughter (assuming she is of age) to determine what, if anything, to do with the home unless the home must be sold to pay off creditors.
Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******
