The way to do it depends on how the names were listed on the deed. Were they listed as tenants in common or as joint tenants with right of survivorship? If they were listed as tenants in common then the bf's share becomes part of his estate. The estate has to be probated and the executor has to issue a new deed to the heirs according to the will, or according to state law if there was no will.
If the property was owned as joint tenants with right of survivorship then your mother-in-law can go to an attorney or title agency with a copy of the death certificate. They will prepare and record a new deed listing her as the sole owner.
