A person's name is generally removed by "conveyance" of a new quitclaim deed, signed by all parties to the initial deed, naming the remaining parties as grantees. In case of a death, the decedent's estate representatives would have the power to sign, and the local rules may require registration (or reference to) the probate and death certificate.
