My condolences upon your loss of your husband.
Retain an attorney to assist wirth the probate of your late husband's estate which will clear title to the property.
Good Luck!

File a certified copy of his death certificate with the Registry of Deeds. I assume title was held as tenants by the entirety.
Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

In Massachusetts you don't remove a deceased person from a deed. Title transfers at time of death as a result of the death. If you show your deed to a lawyer, a lawyer can explain how to "clear" title as a result of your husband's death.
