Deed Change of Ownership Upon Death

[Mark S.]

Husband and wife own home, free and clear, in both their names. Husband dies. I'm assuming wife must have deed changed to reflect ownership now in just her name, correct? What's the process and can this be done electronically? Is there a time limit for completing this? I feel dumb asking this, but I figured this is the place I'd get the best answer. Thanks in advance.
