"and his heirs" is old language that does not require that the property go to any heirs, but rather that it conveys a full "fee simple absolute" interest. If the current owner(s) sell it, the buyer owns it free and clear of the sellers and their heirs. But, as always in a real estate transaction, have an attorney review the title and conduct the settlement, and buy title insurance to guarantee that you get good title.
