Can joint tenants with rights of survivorship be contested?
A survivorship deed, or a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, is much more difficult to contest than a will bequeathing property to beneficiaries. However, one circumstance in which a survivorship might be successfully contested is when the document granting right of survivorship has not been properly drafted.
Can right of survivorship be contested?
Yes. However as stated above, it is very difficult to challenge the right of survivorship. In the case of a house deed with the right of survivorship, the right of survivorship will prevail over last wills and testaments as well as other [subsequent] contracts that may contradict the right.
How do I terminate a joint tenancy with right of survivorship?
In order to sever the right of survivorship, a tenant must only record a new deed showing that his or her interest in the title is now held in a “Tenancy-in-Common” or as “Community Property”.
