Welcome jodicunninghamgraham.

Usually deeds are notarized by notary public. Do you wish to remove your mother's name from the deed and add one of your aunts?

Thanks.

Since your mother is deceased and still on title, she cannot sign a deed to transfer title. To do that, you need a court order. Some states can do an "Affidavit of Heirship". Or you may have to go to Probate Court to probate your mother's estate. Check with a probate or real estate attorney.
