    Name Change on Deed
    I own a condo, and my name and my deceased stepfather’s name is on the deed. How do I get the deed changed to just my name?

    Submit a copy of his death certificate with the recording authorities. Be advised: they may want to play a "paper game" so you may need legal advise. There may be someone here that can help with that aspect.
