Answer:
The answer depends on whether the house was put in the trust of not. If it is in the trust, the trust would need to follow the instructions in the trust document for transferring a deed. Property transferred through a trust is typically done through a trustee's deed and passes outside the probate process.
If it's not in the trust, the answer depends on whether he executed a will or not. If he died without a will, an administrator will be appointed to dispose of the property. If he died with a will, the executor is responsible for disposing of the assets. The executor or administrator may create a fiduciary deed transferring the property into your name. In some cases where the property of ; the estate is under a certain value, a summary administration may be applied for, which avoids all the formalities of formal probate procedures.
