Generally, yes. However, if you live are married and live in a community property state your spouse may have rights in property. If that is the case, you need to consult with an attorney who is familiar with community property law in your state.
In a separate property state, a married person can own property in their own name.

My grandmother made a will to put the house in my name.after her death my dad who was on the original deed switched the deed to his name and my moms name along with my uncle and his wife.what stands?
If your grandmother was the SOLE owner of the property when she died then she was able to devise the property to you in her will. If that is the case then her will would need to be probated in order for the title to the property to pass to you and your father's deed to himself and others would be null and void. However, you said that your father was on the original deed. If your father's name was on the deed to the property as the sole owner then he owned the property and your grandmother couldn't devise it to you in her will. In that case the gift to you in the will would be null and void. You can verify who was the last legal owner by deed by checking the records at your local land records office. You need to check your father's name in the "grantee" index to determine if there is a deed to him dated before your grandmother's death. You may find that your grandmother conveyed her property to your father by signing a deed. For any further questions or to add details please use the discussion page.

How do you remove a dead spouse's name from a house deed in the state of New jersey?
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.
What if your husband's deceased former partner's name is still on the deed?

Can a name be taken off a deed?
You cannot just take someone's name off a deed. The person owns the property and they must transfer their interest voluntarily by executing a new deed that transfers their interest to a new owner. The only other way to "get someone's name off a deed" is by a court order.
