The property will still belong to the corporation. As a rule, when a stockholder dies, his/her shares pass on to his/her heirs, unless an existing stockholders' agreement signed by them state otherwise.
The name of the owner indicated in the deed of sale (without “Jr.”) is also the same with what is indicated in the Land title (without “Jr.”). However, the correct name should be with “Jr.”.
Thank you so much for the help. God bless!

Yes, particularly when there is agreement to an equitable division by the heirs. In fact, typically it is wiser to do things that way, and people should plan their estates with that in mind, especially when dealing with real estate.
