Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

If my Aunt passed and did not havetime to leave a will but verbally willed me her house -- is there anything I can do now. Can I stake a claim againt the house, legally. Crazy, Huh? Though I think when I purchased my houses, I bought some kind of insurance preventing that from happening to me as a homeowner, except I can't remember what it is called? Thanks..
