No. Not as long as the decedent's estate was probated and you are the legal owner now. The deed doesn't need to be changed as long as the probate file shows the estate was properly probated. You do not need to have a new deed drafted and recorded although you can have one drafted by the attorney who handled the estate.
If the estate was not probated then you are not the legal owner and you need to rectify that problem.
