Thanks for the reply, but
What do you mean " she needs to keep "his" and new spouse as grantee? On which form?
And where is this submitted? at the county recorders office?

To Nylllib,

Since your deceased husband has left a will for the property, it needs to be probated. The property will then be divided according to the will. If you have been named the beneficiary in the will, you will get the entire property. The title of the property will be solely in your name.

Once you have the title in your name, you can then add your current spouse to the title through a quit claim deed. You need to sign the deed as grantor, transferring the property to both you and your new spouse (referred to as grantees). Once the deed has been signed, get it notarized and recorded with the county recorder's office.
