You don't take someone's name off a deed. Changes in ownership are accomplished by recording a new deed in the land records. However, when property is owned by two people jointly and one dies, sole ownership automatically passes to the other. You only need to record a copy of the death certificate in the land records to show proof that the other joint owner died. If for some reason you want to have a new deed drafted you should seek the advice of an attorney.
