My husband/wife has died. How do I remove them from the deed?

If the deed was joint tenants, a certified copy of the Death Certificate must be presented to the County Clerk’s office and filed with an Affidavit of Surviving Joint Tenants. If the deed was not joint tenants, the estate will have to go through probate to determine ownership of the property.
