Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
can joint tenants be added to a deed at different times?
I have a house, I added my girlfriend's name to the deed by grant deed as joint tenants, then we later added her son's name to the deed as joint tenants (with no agreements to anything). In California, do we really have a joint tenancy? If we don't have a joint tenancy then are their names valid on the deed?
The relationship broke down. I paid for the entire house, all paid off when I bought it, now I want to remove them from the deed, can I do this? If they file partition action can I use the fact that I paid the whole thing and remove them from the deed? Am I SOL?

Another thought, since I see there's another copy of the question!
Technically, one doesn't add parties to the deed. What you've done, apparently, is to add parties to the title.

Once again. This has been answered.
