When you file a death certificate for a joint tenant with the right of survivorship, the deceased's interest in the property automatically transfers to the surviving joint tenant(s). This means that the property does not go through probate and the surviving tenant(s) retain full ownership. It's essential to update the title or deed to reflect the change in ownership after filing the death certificate. Always consult with a legal professional for specific advice regarding your situation.
