probably. Need to probate the wil. Open an estate. If this was the only property 8 is worth less then $30,000, and if certain of the pieces fall into place such as the actual date of death, then you are probably open a small estate. There are some other issues involved. You certainly should see a Maryland attorney. The Maryland attorney you find should be set seasoned in estate and probate work and should be knowledgeable in real estate. What you don't want to do is try to do this on your round, screw up the chain of title, in then 10 2030 years whatever may be, have a buyer find this problem in then you would be required to sort out then what you should have done now. When This happens it's always inconvenient, messy, and expensive
