Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Transfer of deed

My father-in-law wants to transfer deed of house to me and my wife (his daughter). House is paid in full. His wife died, her name is on deed - she had a will, but never probated it. Can we do a quitclaim deed ourselves? Do we have to have a lawyer or title office? Do we have to probate first? Thank you
