Change Of Deeds

Hi there everybody I I have a question I need to ask which I am not sure of. I bought a house with my father in 2006 on a interest only mortgage now my dad is 65 and I am 28 years the department of work and pension pay around about £220 a month towards the mortgage for my dad and also we only pay half of the council tax.

Now I want to remortgage the house and want to take my dad off the deeds and mortgage and leave the house just in my name which he is quite happy to do because when we bought the house we never gave a deposit it was %100 and plus he has never gave anything on the house apart from the DWP payments. How do I do all of this the mortgage payments will stop what about council tax benefit as he will still be living with me. Thank You.
