If a grant deed was notarized before death as a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, can it be recorded after death? Or do you have to go to probate court?

Welcome Frank Woo,
A notarized grant deed cannot be recorded after death of the person. If the person has left a will, then the property will be probated.

What if there is no will?
Hi Frank,
If there is no will, then the heirs to the property should file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property in their name.

MY PARENTS LEFT ME NO WILL, AND HOW TO GET CHANGE A NEW OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY? WHAT DOCUMENTS I SHOULD FILE FROM THE RECORDER?
Hi VINCENZO,
As there's no will, you need to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property in your name.

As the executor of my grandma's estate, I need to transfer a willed home to another family member. What do I need to do?
Hi mike!
Welcome to forums!
The will needs to be probated first. After the probate is complete, the property will be divided as per the will. You can contact a real estate attorney and he will help you in this matter.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
