Hells:
Does anyone official even know that Sirius is dead? Do they know he owns the house? After all you would think someone at the MoM would keep an eye on his house when he was on the run, and I don't think Kingsley was the only one after him. The DEs are hardly likely to say Sirius battled against them and risk exposing Pettigrew. The Order can't say he was on their side in case they get in more hot water for concealing his whereabouts. It also might be immaterial who inherits if the house can't be found, Dumbledore doesn't have to admit to being secret keeper, and if he does he will have time to remove all Order related business first.
