No. The Survivor is the sole owner of the property by operation of law. Generally the buyer's attorney will request any documentation required to clear the title. Generally, you will need to record a death certificate and perhaps some type of state inheritance tax release stating no taxes are due. However, you should be represented by your own attorney at the sale. Your attorney will know what documentation you require.
