Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

joint tenant with right of survivorship

I own a real property with 3 siblings in NY. We inherited it from parents. The deed has a joint tenant with right of survivorship. However, I would like to break this type of arrangement and make it tenant in common. I would like my spouse to receive my share if something happens to me. Please advise. Also, I would like to know what form needed to file to make this conversion. Thanks.

Re: joint tenant with right of survivorship

All of the current owners have to agree to a change in ownership because they all have to sign the deed transferring ownership to the "new" owners.

Good Luck
