Probably.  Hire a probate lawyer who practices in the county to represent you.  If the title company agrees, you may be able to record an Affidavit of Heirship followed by Special Warranty Deeds of Gift from your siblings to you.  If not, you must probate (prove) the estate and then record a Distribution Deed to all the heirs followed by Special Warranty Deeds of Gift from your siblings to you.
