The decedent's estate must be probated in order for legal title to vest in the heir(s). Probate is part of the public records that affect real estate. You are not required to arrange for a deed in your name since the probate records will show that you are the owner by inheritance. However, if you want the property recorded in your name you should consult with the attorney who handled the estate. She/he can draft a deed properly for your jurisdiction and the deed should be recorded in the land records immediately.
