How do I remove a deceased joint tenant's name from the title of my property?
You will need to record a new transfer document to remove the deceased joint tenant from the ownership of the property; usually we see an Affidavit of Surviving Joint Tenant document used in this situation. A death certificate must be included. If you are unsure of the type of forms you need to use, please seek legal advice for guidance.
