Grant Deed and Joint Tenancy for Property in California

Posted on: 11th Mar, 2008 02:44 am
My parents (listed as husband and wife in deed) and me (daughter) are listed as joint tenants within a grant deed for property in California. As my father has passed away, my mother and I would like to have his name removed from the grant deed (we wish to remain listed as joint tenants).

My question is what needs to be done to have my father's name removed from the grant deed? The grant deed reads as follows:

"Husband and wife grant real property in county of Los Angeles to (1) James M. and Barbara M. as two-thirds interest and (2) to Martina M. as to a one-third interest, all as joint tenants........".

Can you please advise? Thanks, Martina
my roommate granted the deed to me 2 years ago. I was not able to transfer it on my name.I am going on modification but she does not want to sign the paper. How can I make her sign it? Can I sue her?

Hi Guest,

I don't think you'll be able to sue her for not signing over the deed to you. You can only negotiate with her and convince her to sign the deed or else, you'll have to lose the property.

Thanks

How do I go about removing a deceased name from my Property Deed?
The Deed reads as ie. "John Doe, a single man, and Jim Smith, a single man, as Joint Tenants" John Doe has passed away and I'd like the tile in my name only. What needs to be done? This property is in Los Angeles county of California. Please advise.
Thanks,
Chuck

File a certified copy of the death certificate with the county recorder's office. Title will automatically vest in the surviving joint tenant.
