as long as no one is living in the house at the time the person dies then the house should automaticly be yours and you should have access to it.
If you are wanting to put it in your name or you are wanting to sell it or rent it then you will need to go through probate, a lawyer will have to help you out with that.
If you are just wanting to sell it i suggest that you leave it in the person name that has just passed, after probate you will be able to sell it and if it is that other persons name you will not have to pay taxes on the amount of money you get from the sale. Depending on the inheritance laws in the state you are in.
