A deed is an official document, recorded at the county level and a new deed has to be recorded to add or delete anyone from the official record of ownership.  We recommend that you seek legal assistance from an attorney or title company specializing in property transactions.  If you are listed as a Joint Tenant no change is required but is recommended and one needs to bring an original copy of the death certificate to the Tax Assessor.
