Joint Tenancy and Transfer-on-Death Deeds by State

How each state reads a deed to two or more people, survivorship rules, and where a transfer-on-death deed is allowed by statute.

By Seayora Editorial Team · Published · Facts checked · 8 min read

Short answer: Whether co-owners of a home have a right of survivorship depends on the deed and on the state’s statute. 36 of the 47 jurisdictions read for this guide presume a tenancy in common unless the deed expressly declares survivorship, so a deed meant to pass the whole home to the survivor must say so. 35 jurisdictions also let an owner record a transfer-on-death deed that passes the property at death without probate.

Key takeaways

  • A joint tenancy with right of survivorship passes the whole property to the surviving owners.
  • Most states presume a tenancy in common unless the deed says otherwise.
  • 35 jurisdictions authorize a transfer-on-death deed by statute.
  • The deed’s exact words decide which kind of ownership was created.

What is joint tenancy with right of survivorship?

When two or more people own a home together, the deed decides what happens when one of them dies. In a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, the survivors own the whole property and the share of the owner who died does not pass under a will. In a tenancy in common, each owner’s share passes to that owner’s heirs or under the will. State statutes decide which one a deed creates when its words are unclear.

How does each state read a deed to two or more people?

In 36 of the 47 jurisdictions below, the statute presumes a tenancy in common unless the deed expressly declares a joint tenancy or a right of survivorship. A deed meant to carry survivorship should say so in the words the state’s statute uses.

What should an owner check?

  • Read the deed’s exact words: “as joint tenants with right of survivorship”, “as tenants in common” or “as tenants by the entirety”.
  • A mortgage, a divorce or a sale by one owner can change or end a joint tenancy, depending on the state.
  • A transfer-on-death deed recorded after the owner’s death has no effect in states that require recording during life.
  • Rental income from a co-owned property is reported by each owner on that owner’s share.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between joint tenancy and tenancy in common?

In a joint tenancy with right of survivorship the surviving owners take the whole property. In a tenancy in common each owner’s share passes to that owner’s heirs or under the will.

Does a deed to two people create survivorship automatically?

In most states, no. The statute presumes a tenancy in common unless the deed expressly declares a joint tenancy or right of survivorship.

What is a transfer-on-death deed?

A deed that names who receives the property at the owner’s death, without probate. Where a statute allows it, it must generally be recorded before the owner dies, and it can be revoked.

How Seayora helps

Owner portals: An owner on Seayora keeps each property’s owners of record and documents in one place, beside its leases and books.

This article is general information, not legal advice. Landlord-tenant law varies by state and city and changes often, so check the current rule for your property and talk to an attorney before acting on a dispute.
