You should get a title company to draft all of these documents and get them recorded.

At a minimum, I would contact a Title company for assistance. My best recommendation is that you speak with an attorney.

I'm with the others. It's cool that you came here looking for help but this is a question that's better answered locally. Tell your friend to speak with:

1. Their mortgage company

2. A real estate attorney

3. A title company

 Hi George,

Agree with all of the above. Best to get a real estate attorney and a title company involved in this process as they are well versed in the necessary documents needed to get the title transferred over correctly, legally.

Hey @George Plasencia - sorry for your friend's loss. You should advise your friend to get in touch with a real estate attorney who will be able to assist with this, as the attorney will also connect your friend with a title company etc. to handle the proper paperwork.
