Generally, in the United States, an estate must be probated in order for title to real estate to pass to the heirs whether there is a will or not. The court proceeding identifies the legal heirs and notifies creditors that the owner has died. As soon as the Administration or Will is allowed by the court the title to the real estate passes to the heirs. Until then the only heir doesn't have legal title to the property so their deed would be of no effect.

How do you file a deed to change title of house after a spouse dies?

If the married couple took title to the property as "tenants by the entirety" (a method of taking title reserved for persons married), then there is a right of survivorship whereby the surviving spouse becomes the sole owner of the property. This happens automatically. Typically, you would also file/record an "affidavit of surviving tenant by the entirety" indicating that one of the spouses has deceased so that when/if you go to sell the home, the title company and buyer will not be looking for the signature of the deceased spouse.
