Ohio Warranty Deed for Separate or Joint Property to Joint Tenancy
The Warranty Deed for Separate or Joint Property to Joint Tenancy is a legal document used to convert separate property or joint property into a joint tenancy holding. This form outlines the ownership rights of multiple parties, allowing them to hold the property together and ensuring that, upon the death of one owner, their interest automatically passes to the surviving owners without going through probate. This differs from a tenancy in common, where an owner's share is inherited by their heirs rather than being transferred directly to co-owners.

FAQ
With a Survivorship Deed in place, when one of the parties in a joint tenancy dies, the other party (or parties) takes over the deceased party's interest in the property instead of it passing to the deceased's heirs or beneficiaries.
Survivorship rights take precedence over any contrary terms in a person's will because property subject to rights of survivorship is not legally part of their estate at death and so cannot be distributed through a will.
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.
What Is the Difference Between a Warranty Deed & a Survivorship Deed?A warranty deed is the most comprehensive and provides the most guarantees. Survivorship isn't so much a deed as a title. It's a way to co-own property where, upon the death of one owner, ownership automatically passes to the survivor.
A joint tenant can indeed sever the right of survivorship WITHOUT the consent of the other joint tenants.In order to sever the right of survivorship, a tenant must only record a new deed showing that his or her interest in the title is now held in a Tenancy-in-Common or as Community Property.
In title law, when we talk about tenants, we're talking about people who own property.When joint tenants have right of survivorship, it means that the property shares of one co-tenant are transferred directly to the surviving co-tenant (or co-tenants) upon their death.
A survivorship deed is a deed conveying title to real estate into the names of two or more persons as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Upon the death of one owner, the property passes to and vests in the name of the surviving owner or owners.
For example, joint tenants must all take title simultaneously from the same deed while tenants in common can come into ownership at different times. Another difference is that joint tenants all own equal shares of the property, proportionate to the number of joint tenants involved.
