Removing a Deceased Joint Tenant from a New Mexico Real Estate Title
New Mexico's statutes define joint tenancy at 47-1-36. This law states that a "joint tenancy in real property is one owned by two or more persons, each owning the whole and an equal undivided share, by a title created by a single devise or conveyance, when expressly declared . . . to be a joint tenancy." Property titled in this manner cannot be passed in a will; instead, a deceased joint tenant's share is distributed equally amongst the survivors as a function of law until only one person holds the property in sole ownership.
While technically accurate, this description oversimplifies the situation. What happens when it's time to sell the property? Unless the local recording office cross-references death notices with real estate records, the deceased owner's name still appears on the title. This inaccuracy can create confusion during a title search and slow down the transfer process. In addition, outdated ownership information might interfere with property tax billing, which could lead to unnecessary fees and/or penalties.
The surviving owner(s) may prevent these potential issues with a simple step: when one joint tenant dies, the other(s) can execute and record an affidavit of facts as to death with the local recording office. It is possible to address this at the time of sale, but it makes sense to handle it within a short time after the owner's death because the necessary documentation is more likely to be easily accessible. This action keeps property records up-to-date, verifies the owner's interest and rights to the title, and ensures smoother transfers in the future.
Each circumstance is unique, so please contact an attorney with questions or for complex situations.

recently joined Deeds.com. still exploring the site. has been very helpful in providing local information for recording, such as fees and requirements. i am working to correct mistakes made within a deed. it is amazing how these municipalities operate outside the scope of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17; to claim land is "in" the "State of ____. when the land is actually not ceded to the United States of America as for use for needful buildings. beware of the fraud perpetrated by Attorneys in the recording of your Deeds. Registration as "RESIDENTIAL" puts your private-use land on the TAX rolls with the use of that one word. i recommend this site as it appears there is information for each state and each county office. will update my review once i place an order.
Thank you!
