i own a house in the city (Niles) and at one time my sons name was on the title we owned it together. For certain reasons, I had his name taken off

you need to do a new deed and record it with the register of deeds I always reccommend using a lawyer because they will make sure the deed is correct. you should share the prior deeds you have done in case they were not done properly.   the couple hundred a lawyer will charge is cheap compared to the thousands that people pay going to court to fix a mistake.   best of luck to you
