Colorado Quitclaim Deeds we offer involve variations on transfers from one or two individuals to one or two individuals.

Colorado Quit Claim Deed with Joint Tenancy

One of the issues to consider when transferring Colorado real property by quitclaim deed to two owners is whether to make the transfer in Joint Tenancy or as Tenants in Common.

Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship Defined

When using a Colorado Quitclaim Deed form, a transfer in Joint Tenancy or “Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship” (JTWROS) means that upon the death of an owner (a Joint Tenant), the deceased owner’s interest in the real property automatically passes to the remaining joint tenants.

No Colorado probate is necessary to convey the deceased owner’s interest in the real estate. However, a certified death certificate and perhaps a supplemental affidavit must be recorded in the real property records to properly document the death.
