Full Question:
Our family house was in both Mother and fathers names. When our father passed away in
1995, our mother was executor. She completed executors deed to put the house in her
name and removed our fathers name.The deed did not get recorded. Our mother passed away
in 2006.When selling the property after her death, we discovered it was still in both names. I(daughter) have been appointed successor executor to fathers estate and have letter
of testemenary for both. What kind of deed do I need to remove father's name and put in mothers name only?

Answer:
Generally, to transfer property to the name of another, they need to be living. When property is owned by joint tenants who are both deceased, it is transferred to the beneficiary(ies), who are determined by the relevant will or intestate laws. This is typically accomplished
by way of an executor's or administrator's deed.
