Re: warrantydeed

A properly executed and recorded deed of joint tenancy cannot be "revoked". By operation of law, upon the death of any of you, the remaining tenants will essentially take the decedent's interest. The father could convey his interest by deed to his new wife, but she cannot get his interest in the house by his Will.
