You have already made a potentially very expensive mistake in probating the will. You should have seen a lawyer first. It may have been smarter to let the mother file years support to get the home that way, as that allows for a one year waiver of property taxes and also could have possibly helped avoid some estate debts. That mistake already probably cost you more than retaining counsel would have cost.

Before you make more mistakes, get a lawyer. For one, you do NOT do an Administrators Deed. First of all you are the executor. Secondly, the document you likely will use is an Assent to a Devise and NOT a deed, and there is no form for that (although any experienced estate lawyer can draft one for a nominal fee).

Finally, unless there is some tax or other reason (such as language in the will requiring it) to use a trust, that would not be a step normally done.

Since you're in metro Atlanta, call me and I'd be glad to help. The cost will probably be quite small (I need to see what else you did and did not do). You don't want to mess up title to the home with a misstep (and depending on timing there may still be time to save taxes via year's support rather than a transfer by will).
