Answer:
Procedures for removing a deceased joint tenant from a deed vary by local recorder's office. Typically, a death certificate is required. I suggest calling the recorder's office in the county where the property is located for applicable requirements.
In order to transfer property from an individual to three individuals are tenants in common, there are various types of deeds that may be used. A warranty or grant deed contains certain assurances about the ownership of the property and that there are no claims on the property. A quit claim deed offers no such assurances and passes only the interest that the transferor actually owns, if any, without a warranty of ownership.
