Adding Someone On As A Joint Tenant At Closing:

The buyer may want to add a spouse or family member to their Warranty Deed that is not on the Mortgage. Please be sure said person does not have any liens against them, as it can attach to your property! If you add someone to title as a Joint Tenant with the Right of Survivorship, that means there is equal ownership of the property and have the equal undivided right to keep or dispose of the property. This also create a Right of Survivorship, which provides that if any one of the Joint Tenants pass away, the remainder of the property is transferred to the “Survivors”
