There is no 'inheritance' from a joint tenancy. When two people own property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies the Survivor automatically owns the property. Think of it this way: When one owner dies their interest in the property disappears leaving the survivor as the sole owner.

How do you sever a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship deed in Mississippi?

To sever a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship in Mississippi, one party must take steps to change the ownership structure, typically by executing a new deed.

The new deed should be recorded with the appropriate county clerk's office to ensure it is legally recognized. Additionally, mutual agreement among the joint tenants can also lead to severance.

In Colorado what happens to your home if you die and your spouse is an owner by a Quitclaim Deed but is not named on the General Warranty Deed?

Assuming that one party acquired the land by virtue of a warranty deed and then conveyed it to himself or herself and spouse by a quitclaim deed, that would be effective as long as the deed was drafted properly. You need to check the tenancy created in the most recent deed. If it is a joint tenancy and one owner dies the survivor owns the property automatically. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.


How do you sever a joint tenancy?

A joint tenancy between two people can be severed by either party executing a deed of their interest to another grantee.

That procedure is called a straw deed.

If it's not stated on a quitclaim deed is ownership in common?

A proper quitclaim deed will state (paraphrased) that the person, their title, address signs ownership to the other person, title and address. If the quitclaim is signing the property over to two people, then the phrase needs to match what they will have on the deed (in common, with rights of survivorship) and so on. Your title company can help with making the right choice. The signatures should be notarized. Clarification: Yes. If no tenancy is recited then the result is a tenancy in common.
