How to change over a deed to inherited property?

My parent’s died with a Will naming myself and a sibling as beneficiaries and we need to change the deed to our names. We are co-personal representatives of the estate. How is this accomplished? It does not seem that we would use the personal representative deed to grant the property to ourselves? My sibling currently lives in the house.

I am so sorry for your loss.  You would need to execute a deed as the personal representative of the estate to yourselves as the owners of the property.  It is called an Executor's Deed here in New York and I am fairly certain that Indiana would have the same requirement.  The deed would then have to be filed. Good luck.
