The will has no effect for a title company until it is probated, except that
it would be evidence of who can claim title.

Since the property was the husband's separate estate, under intestacy his
heirs would inherit a share of the property.

A title company would look carefully at a lack of probate affidavit and
extrinsic evidence to see if there are heirs other than the surviving wife.

Listmates:

 

This is really a title question.  H inherits real property (2 parcels) as
his separate estate.  H dies.  His Will leaves everything to W.  If W
records the original Will, will that satisfy a title company to insure the
sale of both parcels (to different people) or must W probate the Will?
