Answer: In a Massachusetts divorce where the decree provides that W pay a dollar sum to H and H conveys his interest to W, if W pays and H refuses to sign a deed then the court decree can be recorded and the recording of it will convey his interest. You should have proof in your divorce file that you paid him. The payment should have been exchanged for the deed by your attorney.
No. You cannot remove a spouse's name from a mortgage or a deed. If you want their interest in the property they must execute a deed voluntarily, transferring their interest to you. You may need to buy them out.No. You cannot remove a spouse's name from a mortgage or a deed.

Both. The property would be in his estate and intestacy laws would apply.
You need the spouse to sign a quit claim deed, which can be prepared by a title company or anyone that knows how to fill out the form.
If you are only on the title, then your credit will not be affected.
That is the normal distribution. If there are others on the deed that may affect things. And a spouse normally has a right to the property for at least a life estate.
Call a title company and find out. It is easy if the deed was in terms of "right of survivorship." Generally, you'll need the death certificate, proof of marriage, and a copy of the deed, which they may be able to provide. Probably the only reason you would need to fix the deed is when and if you sell and it can be sorted out then.
this has to be done through an attorney and a court of law
A spouse is almost never responsible for the expenses of a deceased spouse. However, if the deceased spouse had money and there will be probate, someone may make a claim against the deceased spouse's money in probate court.
If you acquired the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then you automatically own the property as the surviving spouse. You do not need to record a new deed. You need to record a copy of the death certificate in the land records as notice that the other joint tenant has died. Any professional checking the title to your property will note the joint tenancy recited in your deed, see the death certificate for your spouse and know that by operation of law you are now the sole owner of the property.
Generally all you need to do is record a death certificate in the land records. You cannot take a person name off a deed.
Their name does not need to be removed from the deed. Generally, all that's necessary is that you record a death certificate in the land records to clear the title.
