When a spouse dies, the death certificate is typically issued by the attending physician or medical examiner who confirms the cause of death. After determining the cause, they complete the necessary paperwork, which is then filed with the local vital records office. Family members or the executor of the estate can request copies of the death certificate from this office once it is officially filed.

Our house is in joint names what do i need to do when my spouse dies?

You don't need to do anything. The deed on record shows that you are both owners as husband and wife, meaning most likely tenants by the entirety. This is like joint ownership with right of survivorship. When one spouse dies, the surviving owner automatically becomes the sole owner. No new deed is needed to confirm ownership in the surviving spouse. If you are selling that house, all you need to do to prove you are the sole owner is to produce a death certificate and sign what is called an affidavit of title, which among other things, confirms that you were married at the time of death of your spouse.


If a house and car are titled in both names and one spouse dies what does other spouse do to get car and house in her name?

All you need to do is to record a death certificate in the land records to show the other joint tenant is deceased. As for the car, you should call the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state to determine what their policy is when a joint owner dies.
