It is not necessary to change the name in the land records. Probate court records are public records and the probated estate passes title to the heirs. However, if you want to transfer the property to the heirs by a deed the attorney who handled the estate can draft the proper deed for you.

If two names are on a deed and one person dies and the deed says they were tenants in common does anyone have rights to the dead tenant on deed?
If Patrick and Sean own property as tenants in common and Patrick dies then his next-of-kin will inherit his interest in the property unless he left a will devising it to a particular person. If there is no will his interest in the property will pass according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the link below.

If a brother's name is on the deed before he is married does his wife inherit the property if he dies or persons on the quit claim deed?
Your question seems to imply there is another person on the deed with your brother. What happens to the property upon his death depends on how the property is held. If the deed granted the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship the title automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant. If the property was acquired as tenants in common and the brother died intestate then his interest would pass to his next of kin and his wife would likely inherit his half interest in the property. You may need to seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate in your area. You can check the laws of intestacy at the related question link below.

If your husband added another person's name as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship the property will automatically pass to that other person if he dies. If he is a tenant in common with the other person you would inherit his half interest if he died intestate or left his interest to you in his will. You have no immediate rights in the property.
