It depends on how they took title. The deed by which the couple acquired the property must be a survivorship deed in order to avoid probate. They must have acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety.If they acquired as tenants in common then the decedent's estate must be probated.

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.
In a situation where spouses hold property as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the death of one spouse makes the property belong wholly to the surviving spouse (subject to any mortgage or liens, etc.) Any owner of real property can quit claim their interest. So, yes. But a warranty deed (a regular deed) is a better way to go, especially when the property is being passed to more than one person, such as the case here. You want the deed to specify how the siblings hold the property, likely as tenants in common.

Ok the property is held in joint tenancy which means upon the death of one of the joint tenants, the property, by operation of law, passes to the survivor. The Divorce Decree (Judgment) does not effect this. Now if a memorandum of the Divorce Decree was recorded it would become a lien on the property and would eventually have to be satisfied from a sale. If both of the joint tenants are alive, the Divorce Decree controls. If one of the joint tenants dies the estate of the deceased joint tenant would have a claim against the surviving joint tenant under the Decree. Tony B.

A warranty deed guarantees that a property owner has the clear title to a property and the right to sell it. Quit Claim assigns and interest to the property. Check with your state laws, but in many states the QC is enough.
The main types of deeds for transferring property ownership are warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and special warranty deeds. Warranty deeds provide the highest level of protection for the buyer, quitclaim deeds offer the least protection, and special warranty deeds fall in between.
They can provide car, van, motorbike and home warranties. If your possesions are under warranty and something happens to damage your property or it is stolen then as it is under warranty then it can be replaced. Your warranty premiums will go up though.
Both general warranty deeds and special warranty deeds can be used for real estate sales where a property is transferred between parties unfamiliar with each other. The difference is the extent of the coverage of the warranty.
A warranty deed is a legal document used in real estate transactions to transfer ownership of a property from one party to another. Its purpose is to guarantee that the seller has the legal right to sell the property and that there are no outstanding claims or liens against it. The warranty deed also provides a promise that the seller will defend the buyer against any future claims to the property.
You should seek the advise of an attorney if the state condemns your property just because, you would not sign the warranty deed to them.
