This depends on how the deed is written.  If you and your deceased spouse are listed on the deed as husband and wife, then you would need to record the deed in our Customer Service department and the Property Appraiser's Office will pick it up and remove your deceased spouse's name from the property.  If you are not listed on the deed or you and your deceased spouse are not listed as husband and wife, then the property would have to go through Probate.  Please note, that recording fees and/or filing fees apply.
