Do I need to remove a deceased co owners name from deed?

Yes, it’s usually a good idea. Removing the name helps avoid title issues when you refinance or sell. The process is often simple, usually involving a death certificate and a recorded document with your county.

If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?
I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
