    If a house is in probate and there are tenants living in it, who has a stronger claim, the tenants or the deed holder?

    A stronger claim to what?

    In principle, the tenancy continues. The Executor steps into the shoes of the deceased as landlord, and can exercise whatever rights the deceased could have exercised, if he were still alive. So, if the deceased could have given notice to terminate, or to review the rent, or whatever, or could have launched proceedings in respect of unpaid rent, the executor can do that now.

    What if the deceased died without a will. Can the beneficiary stand in and act as landlord?

    Nope, not until they have taken out a grand of administration and had themselves appointed to administer the estate.
