The said Jane B. Doe passed away on February 15, 2050. A certified copy of the death certificate is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A. -
Joint Tenancy
At the time of Jane B. Doe's death, the Property was held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship by [Your Name] and Jane B. Doe, as evidenced in the deed referenced above. -
Effect of Death on Property Ownership
Under the laws governing joint tenancy, full ownership of the Property has now vested in me, the surviving joint tenant. Consequently, the interest of Jane B. Doe in the Property has been extinguished by her death, and I am now the sole owner of the Property. -
No Probate Proceedings Necessary
As the surviving joint tenant, I am entitled to the Property by right of survivorship. Therefore, no probate proceedings are necessary to effectuate the transfer of title to the Property. -
Request for Recording
I respectfully request that this affidavit, along with the attached certified death certificate, be recorded in the appropriate County Recorder’s Office. The purpose of this recording is to confirm the termination of Jane B. Doe's interest in the Property and to establish my sole ownership.
