Hi Tenesha,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
Removing names of the deceased from the deed is a commonly asked question but unfortunately it is not an easy process.
Many factors have to be considered in the process including but, not limited to, future interests, trusts, taxes etc.
You may get a legal form in the office supply stores but it is best to consult an attorney for the purpose. These transfers are critical and should be done under the guidance of an attorney to avoid any disputes in the future.
God bless you.

Hi Tenesha,
As Samantha suggested, it's better to do it under an attorney's guidance. Removing name of the deceased from the deed is a complex issue and it should be handled carefully. You need not worry too much but just take the help of an attorney in the process.
In general the process depends on how the title to the property was held means, was it in joint tenancy or was it a community property.
Sometimes simple affidavit has to be recorded and sometimes a probate court has to be involved. Consult an attorney and things will be easily done for you.

Hi Tenesha,
To begin with, I shall suggest the same as others have, i.e., to take an attorney's assistance.
Just to let know some more on the process - You have to get the required documents filed with the Register of Deeds. Once they are recorded they are required to meet the satisfaction of the title examiner.
A title examiner is from a licensed abstractor from a title company or an attorney. Actually his role comes into play at the time of sale of the property.
You may find the required legal forms in any office supply stores and can also get reference books in the bookstores.
