His personal representative. Open probate. And don't use a Quit Claim deed, use a Bargain and Sale Deed (usually, in this context, headed "personal representative's deed").

Is there a way to force someone to sell the homes in an estate if they weren't left to me?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
You need to open a probate file in your county. Unless there was a will that says otherwise, you should petition to be the executrix (called personal representative). As execurtrix, you can force sale of the homes. If there is already an estate and you re not executrix, you can schedule a hearing with the judge and ask him to force a distribution. Estates are required to be closed in a year, so it should be wrapped up. Once you get your share of the houses, you can force a sale through a partition action, a court proceeding which requires a sale of property if one co-owner requests it.

If there is no other owner on the deed, it will need to go to Probate and the Personal Representative of his estate will sign the deed. Hope this is helpful.
