Hi daseatfour,
You can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office. This will help you in removing your husband's name off the property deed. However, if your husband has left a will, then you will have to probate it. Once the probate is complete, the will needs to be recorded at the county recorder's office and then the property would be accordingly divided.

Hi Dasha!
Welcome back to forums!
As you will be filing an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office, I don't think you would require a new deed and a letter of administration. However, you may contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
