If the married couple took title to the property as "tenants by the entirety" (a method of taking title reserved for persons married), then there is a right of survivorship whereby the surviving spouse becomes the sole owner of the property. This happens automatically. Typically, you would also file/record an "affidavit of surviving tenant by the entirety" indicating that one of the spouses has deceased so that when/if you go to sell the home, the title company and buyer will not be looking for the signature of the deceased spouse.
