Assuming that the will leaves the property to you, you won't need a deed, but rather a (recordable copy of a) court order transferring the property upon close of probate. If you are already the executor, probate must be in progress. Why not ask your attorney? If, on the other hand, you are merely named as executor in a will, you must lodge the will with the court within 30 days of death, and then file a petition for probate. This is a complicated procedure, and we do not recommend trying to do it yourself. An executor is someone who is named in a will, and cannot act until the court confirms the will and issues Letters Testamentary. If there is no will, the person handling the probate is called an administrator.
