My parents (listed as husband and wife in deed) and me (daughter) are listed as joint tenants within a grant deed for property in California. As my father has passed away, my mother and I would like to have his name removed from the grant deed (we wish to remain listed as joint tenants).
My question is what needs to be done to have my father's name removed from the grant deed? The grant deed reads as follows:
"Husband and wife grant real property in county of Los Angeles to (1) James M. and Barbara M. as two-thirds interest and (2) to Martina M. as to a one-third interest, all as joint tenants........".
Can you please advise? Thanks, Martina

Welcome larry,
You've mentioned that the deed has not been recorded. In that case, I doubt whether or not the mortgage will be considered as valid. I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney and check out his opinion in this regard.

My Fiancee's Mom has a joint tenant Deed for a home in CA prior to getting divorced from her husband. She passed away this year. Does her 1/2 share of the property become Tenant in intirety and pass to the divorced spouse?
Welcome Jack,
Did the divorced spouse and your fiancee's mother owned the property as joint tenants with right to survivorship? If yes, then the divorced spouse will get the sole ownership of the property after the death of your fiancee's mother.

can i use a quit claim deed to transfer title back to my self and 2 daughters as joint tenants in calif?
hi beckyy,
who is the present owner of the property? if your daughters are the present owners of the property, then they need to sign a quit claim deed and add you to the property as joint tenants.
thanks

I have a home that I borrowed 113k to put down on a new home. the old home was taken out of my wifes name with out her knowing. the broker and the lender said it was ok because the old house was going to be sold and it would go throught escrow with the new owners. well the broker pushed me into the sale as i wanted a contingency the said no I was going to loose the new home and pay penalties on the money,time and so on . they gave the loan at 8.99% but I was not to worry as it was to be sold, well it did not sell the house that was worth 350k(2006) is now worth only 25-30k (2010) well to make this story short I am behind and citi will not give me a modification
Welcome john,
If you had taken a loan on your old property, then you are liable to pay it off. If the property is sold off at a lower amount, then you would be liable to pay off the deficient balance resulting from the sale of the property. If you feel that your mortgage broker had committed a fraud, then you should contact an attorney and take his opinion in this regard. He will let you know whether or not it would be possible for you to file a case against him.

My mother added us (myself and two siblings) to the deed and it is in JT how can we change that to TIC so that our children will inherit our share if one of us should pass? If one of us should want to sell and others do not can anything be done
How do we go about changing from Joint Tenancy to tenants in common in california and also can one of the three force a sale due to non agreements over the last three years, house just sits.

how will i add my children on my grant deed i brought bthis home as an single man in califoria
Welcome simpson,
You will have to sign a new deed and add your children to it. Your name will be mentioned as the grantor of the property whereas your children and your name would be mentioned as the grantee to it. You can even contact a real estate attorney and he will help you in adding your children to the property deed.

What are my choices and what will be the best thing for me and my brother and sister to do? My father's health is very poor and he has been in the hospital for 91 days. He doesn't have a will or a living Trust done and he out right owns his house. I have been appointed Power of Attorney for his medical and financial. What legal advice can you give me to protect everything from going into probate if he was to pass on?
Hi!
Welcome to forums!
To Ern,
If the grant deed does not have your signature and your property's address, then it won't be considered as legal. It will be better if you could get in touch with a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
To Sheri,
As you've a power of attorney on your father's behalf, you can sign a warranty deed and get the property transferred to yourselves. This will help you in saving the property from going into probate.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
