Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Deleting a Joint Tenant From a Deed
Dear Sir/Madam:
Suppose I purchase a home, placing my ladyfriend's name on the deed with mine as joint tenants. Several years later, we both agree to delete her name from the deed. May this be done in Florida? What is the procedure?
Thank You

Re: Deleting a Joint Tenant From a Deed
In order to "remove a joint tenant from a deed" all joint tenants should execute a new deed to the joint tenant who will keep the property. If there is a mortgage on the property it may impose additional requirements -- make sure the attorney who prepares the new deed has a chance to review the mortgage.

A Quit Claim Deed would take of it. But, if her name is on the Mortgage, then she would still be responsible for the payments even though her name would not be on the deed. For more information feel free to contact me.
