You should open a probate appointing wife PR and on the same day after appointment record a personal representative deed transferring decedent’s interest to her.  The probate can then be closed.

Have a question to what is likely a common problem, I just haven't dealt with it yet.
 
Husband and wife own property. Husband dies with no will and no other assets.
 
Years later wife is trying to transfer property to son and county won't allow it because husband is still on the deed.
 
I'm getting a copy of the deed to make sure the property wasn't held in an unusual way, but assuming the property was held jointly as it normally is in the state, any ideas on how to get husband off the title?
 
Thank you for your help.
 
Cheers,
