How Do I Revise a Deed from Joint Tenants to Tenants by Entirety?

Standard Legal’s Survivorship Deed (using either the Quitclaim or Warranty versions) must be modified slightly to reflect the change from Joint Tenants to Tenants by Entirety.

Instead of employing the language “A and B, for their joint lives, remainder to the survivor of them,” the language must be revised to “A & B, as tenants by the entirety.”

Note that this type of ownership structure is not common, which is why Standard Legal does not offer it as a standard option within the Deeds package (to avoid confusion).

Learn about all of the options that are available at Standard Legal’s Quitclaim Deeds legal forms software page.

Instructions on modifying the baseline content of any title can be found under “HOW DO I CHANGE / CUSTOMIZE THE BASELINE CONTENT OF THE FORMS?” at the Forms Use FAQs page.
