Yes, the husband and wife have to execute a deed that releases their ownership as tenants by the entirety to tenants in common. This terminates the tenancy by the entireties. However, there are other issues with respect to a wife's claims by statute against his estate.

I suggest you contact an attorney to determine the best way to achieve your goals.
