Re: transfer of property without benefit of executor
Your best bet is to consult with a probate lawyer. The answer to your question depends upon how many living children your parents have, which determines how much each inherits in the absence of a will.
Also, there may be ways to avoid expensive probate if they had no other substantial property.
