sale of house with spouse who passed away
No need to retitle the house. When the house is sold, you can produce a death certificate and sign an Affidavit and you should be able to sell the house with no problem.
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with a real estate attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Her estate must be probated, no emergency on changing deed.
