Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
taking deceased person's name off title to home
Do I need to take dead husband's name off title to

a few years after his death,
my name only.

Re: taking deceased person's name off title to home
You, Ma'am, as a practical matter, are now the only owner of record, and, therefore, I would think not. (If the mortgage lender had thought differently, you likely would not have been able to do the refinance in your name only.)
