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.

In Texas, a spouse must sign a "quitclaim deed" to relinquish their rights to real estate owned by the other spouse. This type of deed transfers any interest the relinquishing spouse has in the property without making any warranties about the title. It's important to ensure that the deed is properly executed, notarized, and recorded in the county where the property is located to be legally effective. Consulting with a real estate attorney can also help ensure the process is completed correctly.

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 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.
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.
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.
