Home equity loan on inherited property

[ADRIAN GUTIERREZ]

 The home is fully paid off and I am currently living in it.  We do not wish to sell the home But I will continue to live in it. My parents left a will  Stating that if the home was ever sold the amount would be distributed 3 ways. I consulted with an attorney who advised that the probate was not necessary and all that was needed was an affidavit to just change the name over to us. Can I make a small equity loan on the home to pay the attorney and pay off a small amount of debt that I have?The loan amount would be $10000 or less. The house is still under my parents name.
