Probate - Public Administrator as Executor

[Saim Chaudhry]

I have come across this a few times, it lists "public administrator" as the executor in probate records. I am interested in a few properties, but am not sure what it means that the public administrator is the executor. On the MLS, the title of the property is still under the decedent. Does the public administrator have the authority to sell? What does it mean if public admin is listed as the executor, no heirs or family? Where does the money go for the property after it is sold?

Thanks!
