A New Mexico General Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship) is a legal document used to transfer real property rights from one person (granter) to two or more individuals (grantees), also known as joint tenants. This type of deed guarantees that the granter legally holds the property title and has the right to convey it to the grantees, providing assurance of ownership. With the right of survivorship, if one joint tenant passes away, their share automatically transfers to the remaining joint tenants, without the need for probate. This characteristic makes this type of deed popular for joint property ownership, as it enables a seamless transfer of ownership to surviving co-owners. Some variations of the New Mexico General Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship) include: 1. New Mexico Quitclaim Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship): This type of deed is similar to the General Warranty Deed, but it doesn't provide a guarantee of clear title. The granter only transfers their interest in the property, without guaranteeing that there are no undisclosed claims or encumbrances. 2. New Mexico Special Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship): This variation of the General Warranty Deed guarantees that the granter hasn't caused any title issues during their ownership, but it doesn't cover any encumbrances that existed before the granter's ownership. It provides limited protection compared to the General Warranty Deed. 3. New Mexico Life Estate Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship): In this type of deed, the granter retains the right to occupy and use the property during their lifetime, known as a life estate. After their passing, the property transfers to the joint tenants, bypassing probate. When executing a New Mexico General Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship), it is crucial to consult with a qualified attorney or real estate professional to ensure compliance with New Mexico state laws and to address any specific concerns related to the property or ownership rights.
