Selling a house with a joint title after one spouse passes
My mom's house is jointly in her name an in my late father's name. My father passed away a few years ago, but we have not changed the title on the house to just my mom's name. She will be moving into a retirement condo mid-2015 so we are planning to list her house through an agent in early 2015.
My question is, does the title and deed to the property need to be changed to her name only now, before we list it, or can it be done after the sale, during the closing process by the RE lawyer? If it matters, the house is in Toronto.
