Best Answer

If the property is owned by two as husband and wife (tenants by the entirety), there is no need to change the deed to reflect the fact that only the Survivor owns the property. Common practice in NJ is to do nothing in the way of changing the deed. However; if for some reason the surviving spouse still wants the decedent's name off the deed, he/she would sign a new deed by herself as the sole surviving owner conveying the property to herself as sole owner. At that point only the survivor's name is on the deed. Names are never "taken off deeds" to reflect that a former joint owner is no longer an owner. A new deed is created to do this.

In Illinois the estate should take care of that change. It should be a simple as filing a copy of the death certificate with the deed.
