In a joint tenancy a co-owner can execute a deed and terminate the survivorship. In a tenancy by the entirety one party cannot terminate the survivorship rights of the other. You should consult with an attorney.

The purpose of creating a survivorship by deed is that the property is automatically owned by the Survivor when one co-owner dies. It cannot be gifted by a will.

However, a joint tenancy with the right of survivorshipcan be broken during life by either tenant simply by conveying their interest to another person by deed.

It depends on the details and the laws in your jurisdiction. There are several possible scenarios and survivorship deeds can be for a joint tenancy or a tenancy by the entiretywhich is reserved for legally married people. TBEs are not available in all jurisdictions.

  • If two unmarried people own property as joint tenants, generally, one can sell their own interest breaking the tenancy. They can sell a 50% interest.
  • If two people are married and own property as joint tenants, in certain jurisdictions one cannot sell their interest without the consent of the other.
  • In most states one tenant by the entirety cannot convey their interest in the property.
  • However, in certain states (Massachusetts and New York are two examples) there is no law against one tenant by the entirety conveying their interest. However, their deed cannot defeat the survivorship interest of the other tenant by the entirety and a peculiar situation is created. Suppose a husband conveyed his interest to his brother. The husband no longer owns the property. The brother is now taking the husband's place in the unseverable survivorship tenancy. If the husband dies, the brother is out of luck and the brother loses his interest in the property. The wife gets it all. If the wife dies the brother gets it all.

If both owners in a survivorship deed want to sell the property there are no restrictions as long as both sign the deed.You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain the rules in your jurisdiction.

Is it illegal to quick claim deed to someone other than family?

To start with, it is a "quit" claim deed. And basically you are relinquishing your share of the property to someone else. This usually happens when there are two names on the deed and one wants out of ownership. They usually quit claim deed their share to the other person on the deed. Family has nothing to do with it. The only thing that MIGHT affect this transfer is if it was agreed upon prior to taking ownership of the property that it can only be transferred to someone within the family. Rare, but who knows, this stipulation might exist. In most states one tenant by the entirety cannot transfer their interest in the property.

With two people on a deed do they have equal share or can it be unequel?

When two or more people acquire land by deed their fractional interest is set forth in the deed. If the deed is silent, they each own an undivided equal share in the whole property. However, at the time of the purchase any fractional arrangement can be set forth in the deed. In that case the deed would need to specify the split. For example, the deed must recite that David will receive a one-quarter interest, Charles a one-quarter interest and Judith a one-half interest.
