In the case of a joint tenancy, the surviving joint tenant will automatically own the property with no need of probate. A death certificate must be recorded in the land records to clear the title and a new deed is not necessary. If the surviving owner desires to have a deed recorded in their own name that can be arranged through an attorney who specializes in real estate law for a nominal fee.
