Your deceased husband is on title right now. If you transfer the house in a sale your husband would have to sign the deed as one of the joint tenants. He is unable to sign the deed so you would record an affidavit of deceased joint tenant to explain why your husband is unable to sign the deed transferring the property. If you try to transfer only your interest in the property to your son that would introduce a third party to the title and trigger the due on sale clause in all mortgages. This is just as likely to cause the lender to call the mortgage due as recording an affidavit of deceased joint tenancy. If you are a co-borrower and continue to make the mortgage payments the lender is not likely to take any action unless a third party is brought into title.
