Best Answer

If you acquired the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then you automatically own the property as the surviving spouse. You do not need to record a new deed. You need to record a copy of the death certificate in the land records as notice that the other joint tenant has died. Any professional checking the title to your property will note the joint tenancy recited in your deed, see the death certificate for your spouse and know that by operation of law you are now the sole owner of the property.

Can a warranty deed be transferred back to original owner?

I'm not an attorney. A warranty deed can go back to the original owner. Why not? The original owner can acquire the property again; there is no law against that. The deed might still be a warranty deed, but if the deed has become clouded in some way while under other ownership, the original owner might possibly not receive a warranty deed when he gets the property back.
