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.

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.
