Tenants by the entirety is a tenancy reserved for people who are married. If two people who are not married acquire property as tenants by the entirety the tenancy would fail. If two unmarried people want to create a survivorship in each other they should hold the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. That way, if one died the other would automatically own the property.

What form is needed to change deed to tenancy in entirety?

To change a deed to tenancy by the entirety, you typically need to execute a new deed that specifically states the property is being transferred to both spouses as tenants by the entirety. This deed must be properly signed, notarized, and recorded with the local land records office. It's advisable to consult with a real estate attorney to ensure compliance with local laws and procedures.


If a home has 2 people named on the deed but the mortgage is in only one persons name what happens if the person who dies is not the mortgage holder?

It depends on how the 2 people owned the property: as joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, tenants in common, and whether the mortgage covered the entire fee ownership or just one joint tenant's interests in it. Too little information to be specific, but if we're talking joint tenants with the right of survivorship, the mortgagor-owner would inherit the deceased joint tenant's share and nothing much would change.


If a husband takes a property out of his trust and adds his new wife' s name to the deed do his children have any recourse to get the property away from their father's wife?

No, not if husband titled the property as joint tenants or tenants by the entirety with his wife. The only situation in which he could not make that change would be if he was ordered to hold the property in trust by virtue of some court order or some written agreement.


Married 7 years and found out husband is still legally married to his first wife who he has not seen in 20 years. He did not know if she was dead or not . What can he do?

You will need to see a judge to have your marriage nullified. He will then need to get a divorce and then you will have to get married legally. There also may be some criminal penalties because it is against the law to be married to two people at the same time. Additionally, you may have some issues with the IRS as you can not file as married if you are not legally allowed to marry.

How do you file a deed to change title of house after a spouse dies?

If the married couple took title to the property as "tenants by the entirety" (a method of taking title reserved for persons married), then there is a right of survivorship whereby the surviving spouse becomes the sole owner of the property. This happens automatically. Typically, you would also file/record an "affidavit of surviving tenant by the entirety" indicating that one of the spouses has deceased so that when/if you go to sell the home, the title company and buyer will not be looking for the signature of the deceased spouse.

Are Joint Tenants with a right of survivorship the same as Tenants In Common?

No they are different types of real property co-ownership. Tenancy in common is a type of co-ownership where two or more people ("tenants in common") own the property. It is the default tenancy in many jurisdictions when the tenancy is not stated in a deed with multiple grantees. Tenants in Common:Can own the property in equal or unequal sharesHave the right to the use and possession of the whole of the propertyPass on their share of the property to their heirs when they dieIn a joint tenancy the desire to create a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship must be so stated in the deed. The interest of any deceased joint tenant passes automatically to the surviving joint tenants. A joint tenancy is created only if the following four conditions, called the Four Unities, are met:Time- All the tenants acquired their interest at the same time.Title- All the tenants have the same title.Interest- All the tenants have an equal share.Possession- All tenants must have an equal right to possess the property.
