I live in Florida, when I got married my husband and I did a quitclaim deed to add my name on the house he owned before we were married,my husband passed away this month. I was told that I need to do another Deed taking his name off
as deceased. Do I file a Quitclaim Deed or a Warranty Deed and what is the different? and how do I this?

Hi da,
As you are on the deed to the house, you are an owner of the property. Now that your husband is deceased, I don't think there is any need to file any quitclaim or a warranty deed. To remove his name from the deed, you should go to the county records office with the existing property deed and your husband's death certificate. They will issue a new title, with you as the sole owner of the property.
