What form do I use for Transfer of Death if owners of property are married and listed on warranty deed but one of the owners is deceased?
To fill out form do you state “husband, widower and wife, deceased” or just the name of the living person, i.e. “husband, widower” or just “husband’s name” alone without “widower” stated?

The best way to complete the form that you have written about for the "transfer of death" certificate as to any real property presumably by way of a deed is as follows: "name of surviving owner of the property as a single man surviving the death of the deceased person, his spouse".
