Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona

can i list my deceased dad's house for sale before the deed is officially in just mine and my sister's names? we are out of state (CA) and my sister and I have joint tenancy of the home with my dad, we just need to both be in AZ to go to the court to take him off the deed. technically we are all on the deed as things stand now. i would think i could list it prior to handling all this. am i correct?
