Document background
The Affidavit Of Survivorship To Remove A Deceased Owner From Title is a crucial document in U.S. property law that facilitates the transfer of property ownership when one joint owner dies. It is specifically used when the property was held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or tenancy by the entirety. This document allows the surviving owner to establish their sole ownership without going through probate, by providing proof of death and confirming the nature of the original ownership. It must be properly executed, notarized, and recorded with the appropriate county recorder's office to be legally effective.
