Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Affidavit of death for joint tenant

Hello,

I am wanting to file the Affidavit of death for my father who passed away in 1998; however, my mother, surviving joint tenant passed away in 2003. My question is should I sign the affidavit in my mother's name, with deceased after it and then sign my name? I will be handling the probate once I open it and will be named executrix, should the affidavit be filed after I have my letters?

Re: Affidavit of death for joint tenant

I suggest you ask the clerk at the recording office if it would be accepted that way.
