Hey,
After a real estate owner passes away, many people want the deceased owner's name removed from the title. Removing a deceased person from a property deed helps the new owners to manage the property while also clearing up the land and property tax records.
It can be either simple or very difficult to remove a deceased owner. If the dead owner was the only owner, probate or a different process than probate will probably be needed. An affidavit of survivorship may be used to avoid probate if the property was held with a surviving spouse or other co-owner.
A survivorship affidavit, also known as an affidavit of death or an affidavit of continuous marriage, is a legal document used to revoke a deceased owner's right to ownership of property by submitting proof of the owner's demise to the local land office.
A survivorship affidavit informs third parties, such as title companies, lenders, and property tax officials, that an owner has passed away and that you now own the property in their place, clearing up the land records.
I hope this answers your question.
