FAQ

A joint tenancy is severed by (a) mortgage or creation of a deed of trust, (b) transfer to a revocable or irrevocable trust, (c) contract to convey the property, or (d) destruction of one or more of the four unities; and the result is the failure of the right of survivorship. In re the Estate of Estelle, 122 Ariz.

Introduction. In Arizona, property law is governed by ARS Title 33. Joint tenancy with right of survivorship is covered in ARS 33-431. When real property is owned by multiple people, property law refers to it as a concurrent estate.

The main difference between joint tenants vs community property with right of survivorship lies in how the property is taxed after the death of a spouse. In joint tenant agreements, the proceeds from the sale of a property (after the death of a spouse) would be subject to the capital gains tax.

An attorney can help you with this. The right of survivorship can be removed from a deed if all co-owners involved agree to it. If they disagree, a legal process will have to be initiated in court to contest the ownership of the property.

In the case of joint owners, each owner generally has the right to lease out property that is jointly owned. This means that one owner can enter into a lease agreement with a tenant without the permission of the other co-owner(s).

Joint tenancy should be used with extreme caution. It can subject a co- owner to unnecessary taxes and liabili- ty for the other co-owner's debts. It can also deprive heirs of bequeathed prop- erty and, in California, leave the joint tenant without right of survivorship.

The right of survivorship provides a clear resolution for jointly owned property in Arizona when one owner passes away. In a joint tenancy arrangement, if one of the joint tenants dies, the property doesn't go through probate. Instead, it automatically transfers to the surviving joint tenants.
