Re: Probate of a home after death of a spouse
The main issue is whether the Home was in both spouses names. Check with the county records in the county where the home is located.
If the home was in both names, generally you do not need to probate the residence, just file a new deed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me your e-mail address and a more detailed statement of the facts.

There is not much of a question here. If the house was jointly owned, then it is already his or hers.
