There is no need to remove mom's name from the deed. When or if dad wishes to sell the property or transfer it to another, all he has to do is have a Continuous Marriage Affidavit prepared and record it with a Certified Death Certificate for mom. The title will then be clear in dad's name and he can do as he pleases.
