Death of a spouse, do I do a quitclaim to get his name off house?

Posted on: 15th Feb, 2009 05:34 pm
My husband passed away and we own a home. Do I need to do a quitclaim to have him removed? Do I fill out the form and file it along with his death certificate since he isn't going to be signing the form?
Hi ella,

You're right. There's no need for a quitclaim deed here. All you need is an Affidavit of Heirship which you ought to file in a county clerk's office along with his death certificate. To view a similar discussion, you can refer to the following page:
