My husband passed away. he deed was in both our names. The mortgage has been paid. How do I take his name off the deed? I contacted the Register of Deeds office and they told me they don't handle this. Do I need an attorney to file this form?

You will likely need to go through probate court. I would call a local attorney and just ask them how you go about - it may be something you can walk through the system on your own. Or it may be even easier and it may be a form that gets filles out with local recorders office?
