My Step-Father-in-law owned his home in California with his son as Joint Tenants and the property has no liens. He (Step-Father-in-law) unilaterally Quit Claimed his 50% share to my Mother-in-law. Will this generate a new Grant or Title Deed? Did the Quit Claim sever the Joint Tenancy and is the property now held as Tenants in Common by default?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
Yes, the effect of this deed is that the mother-in-law and son own the property as tenants in common.
Hi anotherday!
Welcome to Forums!
The joint tenancy will not be severed by the quitclaim deed. It will remain as it is.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

The deed would have severed the joint tenancy interest - thus making it tenants in common - see California Civil Code Section 683.2
