Questions answered? Let's get started!
When real estate in California is owned by joint tenants and one of the owners dies, the remaining owner(s) can clear the title by recording an affidavit of Death of a Joint Tenant.
Joint tenancy is a way for two or more people to own property in equal shares so that when one of the joint tenants dies, the property can pass to the surviving joint tenant(s) without having to go through probate court.
The affidavit should be recorded in order to be binding on others. Take a certified copy of the death certificate of the deceased joint tenant and your affidavit to the recorder's office in the county where the real property is located.

Quite simple and easy. Only one critique: It would be easier if the names of the PDF would reflect the name of the deed/form such as 'Controlling tax return' rather than '1579101185SF56863.pdf'. However I love downloading forms rather than mail.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

So far so good. It was reasonably easy to download and complete the form using information found in my closing paperwork. I haven't yet had my form notarized but plan to do so this week and submit the packet to my county auditor.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very helpful, with blank and sample completed documents. The only thing I was confused about was the "legal description" of my property. The documents weren't too helpful on what that meant. Otherwise they were great. It saved me $200 to prepare these myself.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I found the information very helpful. Had problems producing a professional looking document due to the limited active fields on the PDF form. Finally I just typed it.
Thank you!

I was able to download the TOD deed form with no issues and it showed immediately. I appreciate that there is a sample provided on how to complete the form. Once downloaded this form is yours and can be changed ,if you make an error. This form is not complicated and is recognized by the County Court House where I filed the document. I am very pleased this form is available to process on my own and the fee is very reasonable. TY.
Thank you, Mary Lou. We are glad the transfer on death deed downloaded smoothly and that the completed sample made the process clear. It is great to hear your county recorded it without any trouble. We built these forms so property owners can handle the filing themselves with confidence, and at a fair one-time price. Thank you for choosing Deeds.com.
