More details to this question:
My mother and father had died and left me the house but they did not leave a Will. I am trying to get the deed establish in me name. I have seen a judge and we filed some paper but she states that I need a lawyer to write up the Deed. I have been paying the taxes and associated bills.

You need the administrator of the estates (who may be you- it's not clear from your post) to write a deed transferring the property from your parents' estates to you. It is often called an Administrator's Deed. That deed gets recorded with the Superior Court of the county where the property is located. The deed should not be executed or recorded before the estate administration has been fully completed otherwise- in other words, all of the creditors have to have been properly notified and outstanding debts paid in full, and the distribution must be made properly. Yes, you should have an attorney help you with all of that, including the deed. Find a good probate attorney and have them help you finish up the process.
Best wishes to you and please accept my condolences on the loss of your parents.

Follow the judge's instructions. Paying taxes and associated bills does not give you title to real property.
