When it may fit

No will
The only significant asset is real property (house/land)
At least two disinterested witnesses who knew the decedent 10+ years will sign

No unpaid debts other than mortgage

What can change the answer

Witnesses must be disinterested and know family history well enough to sign.
Title companies and counties may apply their own review standards.
If the estate needs court authority, administration may be required instead.
