Survivorship Deed

A Survivorship Deed creates a joint tenancy between two or more individuals. This means when one owner dies, the property goes to remaining owners.

LawDepot's Survivorship Deed:

  • Is commonly used by husbands and wives, and people in common-law relationships.
  • Can be filled out in a matter of minutes.
  • Is far less expensive than hiring a lawyer to draft a similar document.
If you want the property to be transfered using an owner's last will and testament, use LawDepot's Quitclaim Deed or Warranty Deed instead.

Warranty Information


General Warranty: The Grantor warrants the title to be free and clear from all defects and encumbrances from third parties except as stated in the deed. The Grantor is responsible for soundness and validity of entire chain of title and can be held responsible by the grantee if the title is found to be defective.

Special Warranty: The Grantor warrants the title to be free and clear from all defects and encumbrances from third parties only during defects or claims asserted by the grantor and any persons whose right to assert a claim against the title arose during the period in which the grantor held title to the property. In essence, the grantor is warranting that he or she has done nothing during the course of ownership that would create defects on title but no guarantees are provided as to title prior to his or her ownership.

Quitclaim Warranty: No warranty is provided by the grantor as to the soundness of the title.

Consideration

(e.g. 145,000.00, 10.00, etc.)
