If you were the sole heir of your parents, and there was no will, you can probably deed the property to yourself.
Another way would be to apply to the Surrogate's Court to be named as Administrator of your parent's estate, and, once you receive Letters of Administration from the Court, deed the property to yourself with an Administrator's deed.
