The Bronx, NY asked in Real Estate Law and Probate for New York

Q: Does Rights of Survivorship pertain to the property deed and/or recorded mortgage?

Two people listed on the recorded mortgage but only one of them on the recorded property deed. What weight, if any, does the other (not on recorded deed) on the mortgage have in regards to ownership of the property?

A: I think I understood your question until the 1 of four point. You went from two people to four people. I would need more information, or better yet, have a lawyer look at the documents.

A: Rights of survivorship are generally applicable to deeds, whether by tenancy by the entirety or joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Ancillary Promissory Notes and Mortgages would need to be analyzed independently.
