Title transfer/deed names

I have a seller that has a deed in her mom and dad's name, which have been dead for a very very long time. The will she has puts the house in her possesion and she has been living in it since their death. All cash deal and my question is if we have the paperwork that proves the home was left to our seller will title accept this and push the deal through without her name on the deed or do we need to do probate court, lawyers etc to get the deed into our sellers name????

@Mike Flora ... Not my area of expertise, but I am pretty sure titile company will want to see some evidence of appropriate estate administration. 

If seller was an only child and there was a will and estate creditors were properly notified, than this should be easy.

If seller has siblings, there was no will and/or there was no estate administration done....run away from this as fast as you can.
