When someone dies owning property in their name it is necessary to open an estate. After opening an estate in Maryland the personal representative will get Letters of Administration that give them the legal authority to sell assets and distribute according to the deceased person's will. If someone dies without a will the law specifies how their property gets divided up.
If you need some assistance opening or administering an estate you may want to consult with an estate attorney in this state. While the above is not a substitute for specific legal advice I do hope it helps.
