Removing a Deceased Joint Tenant from a Wisconsin Real Estate Deed
Wisconsin laws provide that two or more people may hold real estate as joint tenants with right of survivorship. If one joint tenant dies, his/her share of the property is distributed evenly amongst the remaining co-owners without the need to pass through probate.
To terminate the decedent's interest in the property and to complete the distribution, file a form HT-110 under Wis. Stat. 867.045, with the register of deeds for the county where the property is located.
Recording the form formalizes the transfer of property rights, but the deceased joint tenant's name will still appear on the deed. Complete and record an updated deed from all joint tenants, but identify the deceased co-owner, and convey the property to the survivors only. It might be necessary to provide copies of the original deed, the death certificate, and the recorded HT-110 when submitted the revised deed.

Ed S. said: This is the first time that I have used this service. An employee at the Clerk and Register office in Arizona suggested that I try Deeds.com to find the form I needed and the county office could not provide. I am a licensed Realtor in Colorado with a 43-year career and this service has not been necessary in my own state but it was extremely helpful in finding a form in Arizona. Five star rating for the very user-friendly website!
