You may have to refinance if the lender will not agree. A new deed will have to be filed.

Re: transfer of equity

She may come off the deed by signing and recording a deed to you (or whomever). It should cost a couple of hundred dollars or so. However, she may not come off the mortgage without the consent of the mortgage holder(s). That would also require preparation, execution, and recording of an additional document.
