You will have to probate the estate and then you can sell the property.

It depends on how it was left to you. The title company may or may not require a fiduciary's deed, depending on whether the home was left in a specific or general devise, among other issues. Feel free to call me at 212-367-9167 to discuss this further. I do not charge a fee for the initial consultation.
