As a joint tenant how do you transfer property to your name after your spouse dies?
When your spouse died the property automatically became your absolute property. That is the purpose of creating a joint tenancy in a deed. All you need to do is record a certified copy of the death certificate in the land records to clear the title and inform the world the other joint tenant has died. Operation of law transfers full title to you.
