What is survivorship deed?
A Survivorship Deed is an arrangement for owning real property by which a person(s) becomes entitled to a greater interest in jointly owned property by reason of her having survived another person who had an interest in property. A survivorship deed is one that creates a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship or a tenancy-by-the-entirety for legally married couples. A survivorship deed that creates a joint tenancy can name any number of grantees but they must each have an equal interest in the property. If four own the property by survivorship and one dies the other three will each own a one-third interest. The survivorship aspect means that when one dies their interest passes to the survivors automatically with no need for probate. If two people own a property by survivorship and one dies, the survivor will become the sole owner with no need of probate. As joint tenants die the survivors only need to record their death certificate in the land records to clear the title of the decedent's interest.

How do you know if you have right of survivorship on a property you own with a non-spouse?
A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.
What are the ways a deed with right of survivorship can be broken?
Laws vary in different jurisdictions. You need to check the particular laws in yours. Generally, in states that allow tenancy by the entirety for legally married couples one tenant cannot sever the survivorship rights of the other without their written consent on a deed. Otherwise, a divorce will end that type of survivorship tenancy, changing it to a tenancy in common. In general joint tenancies with right of survivorship can be terminated when one tenant conveys their interest to a third party. If they simply wish to change the tenancy they can deed to a "straw" and then have the straw deed the interest back as a tenancy in common.

In North Carolina if husband and wife are both on a deed to a home and one dies can the other person sell?
That depends on how they held tenancy. If they held with the right of survivorship then the surviving spouse would own the property. There would be survivorship rights in a tenancy by the entirety or a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. If they held as tenants in common others may have an interest in the property if the decedent didn't devise their share to the surviving spouse by will.
