Joint tenancy is a way for two or more people to own property in equal shares so that when one of the joint tenants dies, the property can pass to the surviving joint tenant(s) without having to go through probate court.
How Do I Record an Affidavit? Take a certified copy of the death certificate of the deceased joint tenant and your affidavit to the recorder's office in the county where the real property is located. The recorder's office also requires a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR) when filing the affidavit.
Submitting an Affidavit At the time of recording, present the completed affidavit (see below), a certified copy of the death certificate and a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report, which is also available at RR/CC offices in Norwalk, Lancaster, LAX Courthouse and Van Nuys, as well as the County Assessor's offices.
The surviving cotenant must sign, under penalty of perjury, an affidavit affirming that they continuously resided in the real property with the deceased cotenant for the one-year period immediately preceding the date of death.
Affidavit-death forms are used to change the title on rea?l property after the death of a joint tenant, trustee or trustor. Information and forms are available from the Sacramento County Public Law Library. Blank forms may also be available at office supply stores.
