You will need to have a new deed drawn up and filed in Land records. It must be signed by an attorney who drafted the deed.
You will need to execute and record a new deed transfering the property from the current owners to the remaining owner. This deed would get recorded in the land records of the county in which the property is located. There are some specific drafting requirements for deeds and it would be wise to seek an attorneys advice. It is not required to be drafted by an attorney and can be drafted by a party to the deed, however you will want to make sure it satisfies requirements.
