Not sure if this helps - but this is the ChatGPT response:
In order to remove a deceased person from a property deed, you typically need to go through a formal legal process, which may involve creating a new deed or amending the existing deed. Simply presenting a death certificate to the registrar's office is usually not sufficient to remove the deceased person from the deed.
Here are the general steps involved in removing a deceased person from a property deed:
The exact process for removing a deceased person from a property deed can vary depending on state and local laws, so it's essential to consult with a legal professional who is familiar with the requirements in your jurisdiction.

Parties were N.J. domestic partners. If both parties are still on the deed, senior tax freeze benefit will divide between single owner and deceased's estate.
Does this require a new deed or just present death certificate to the registrar's office?
Income qualification for the senior freeze is based on the combined income of all household members, whether or not their name(s) appear on the deed. Presumably, the deceased household member has no income. Thus, name(s) on the deed would not impact qualification for senior freeze program.
If there are other reasons to get the name(s) changed on the deed to the property, I would suggest asking the town clerk of the municipality in which the property is located what documentation is needed to update the owner(s) of record.

Town tax office is where I was told the deed needs to be changed.
