More details to this question:
Dad died in 2005 leaving everything to mom. Mom passed away in 2015 leaving everything to me. I probated her will in Toms River, NJ, was executor to her will. Now I want to change the deed to this property in Monticello, NY from both their names to mine. We all lived together and I still do in the same house in Brick, NJ. Can I do this myself from Brick, NJ. Do I need a lawyer. If so can I do it with a local NJ lawyer or do I need to find one in Monticello, NY. About how much should this cost?

You need to bring an ancillary proceeding in New York. It should be a few thousand dollars including the actual deeds and transfer. It is not required to have a lawyer but the fact you are asking this question shows you may want one.
