FAQ
In Ohio, a Survivorship Deed is used to convey title to real estate to two or more people as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Upon the death of an owner, the property passes to the surviving owner(s). A Survivorship Deed is commonly utilized to convey property to spouses.
A Survivorship Deed transfers residential or commercial property from one property owner (the grantor) to another (the grantee) while allowing them to avoid going through probate when they (the grantor) passes away. The parties transferring property in a Survivorship Deed must have full ownership of the property.

The General Rule. In the great majority of states, if you and the other owners call yourselves "joint tenants with the right of survivorship," or put the abbreviation "JT WROS" after your names on the title document, you create a joint tenancy. A car salesman or bank staffer may assure you that other words are enough.
Unity of time. Unity of title. Unity of interest. Unity of possession.
Joint Tenancy With Survivorship In this arrangement, tenants have an equal right to the account's assets. They are also afforded survivorship rights in the event of the death of another account holder. In simple terms, it means that when one partner or spouse dies, the other receives all of the money or property.
This is true even if the decedent created a will and bequeathed their interest in the property to someone else. This is known as the right of survivorship.The decedent's portion of the property receives a step-up in basis as of the date of their passing.
Property held in joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, or community property with right of survivorship automatically passes to the survivor when one of the original owners dies. Real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and investments can all pass this way. No probate is necessary to transfer ownership of the property.
When you want to change your property's title to include the right of survivorship, you do it by redeeding the property "as joint tenants with rights of survivorship," or JTWROS. Changing the title vesting to JTWROS allows the ownership of the property to automatically pass to the other owner when one dies.
