Was there a will and did it go to probate? Who was the executor?

You are not nearby? Who, if anyone, occupies the house?

To directly answer you question, you would find out the status of the house by checking what deeds have been recorded since he is known to have owned it. An easy way to do this is to check the tax assessor's records.
