Unfortunately, when you're dealing with real estate, unless the property was in a Trust or set to pass through operation of title, you are stuck going through probate. It's a common misconception, but Wills do NOT avoid probate. Even better, probate is county by county. So for real estate, you need to open up a separate probate in each county where the property is located. There may be a simplified probate process available depending on the surrounding facts and status of the estate. I recommend working with an attorney in the area since every county probate court has their own rules and procedures.
Best of luck.

Hire a local probate attorney to help you submit the Will to probate (proving that it is the Will of the person who died and that he named you executor). As part of the probate process, you as executor will sign deeds to you as beneficiary under the Will and record them in the county deed records.
