For property to be sold after the death of the property-owner, it needs to be transferred to the legal heirs.
If the deceased property-owner has executed a WILL, the property will be transferred as per the WILL.
In absence of WILL, the legal heirs need to claim and property title will be joint. In case the legal heirs wish to sell the property, they need to prepare a POA in name of one person who can execute the sale and later the sale proceeds be distributed to all the legal heirs.
