If you owned the property as tenants by entirety or by right of survivorship, than all you need to do to clear title is to record a certified copy of his death certificate. You also will likely need to prepare a continuous marriage affidavit and have that recorded as well. Hire an attorney who can assist you and make sure it is all done properly.
