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.
(California Affidavit of Death of Joint Tenant Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)
Important: Your property must be located in Riverside County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

No problem whatsoever navigating the forms. I hope the filing is this easy.
Thanks, Ernest! We’re glad the forms were easy to navigate. Recording in Virginia Beach City is typically straightforward, but it’s always a good idea to confirm any local requirements with the clerk before filing.

I needed more knowledge to feel comfortable for using this form. I am sure it will work great for some people...for me I needed to contact an Estate Manager.
We understand that not every situation is a good fit for a do-it-yourself form package, especially when estate matters are involved. We’re glad you recognized when additional guidance would make you more comfortable, and we appreciate you giving our forms a try. Best wishes moving forward with your estate matter.
