There probably was a sale of the property of some sort made for appearance sake. Remember that The Corleone's no longer wanted any "outward" ties or appearances of having anymore connections to New York. Perhaps the estate was owned under Genco Olive Oil and being that The Corleone's were moving out west, to go into the Casino business, they liquidated all their interests in New York. At least "on paper." In all likelyhood the property was sold to another corporation, maybe one that Clemenza used for his "legitimate" front.
