Removing Deceased From Title - Probate?
Have a situation where a husband and wife owned a house via tenants in common. Wife passed without a will (no probate was opened) and husband passed several years later (went through probate). The personal rep (husband & wife's son) filed the Probate Letter and Personal Representative's Deed of Distribution removing the husband from title and adding both he and his bother. Title is currently in the name of the deceased wife and the 2 brothers. The brothers now want to sell the property. Question: Is there a way to get the deceased wife's name off title without having to open and go through probate? For example, providing the clerk and recorder's office a certified copy of the deceased birth certificate? Thanks in advance for your comments!
