My property owned by my husband and I (Joint tenancy), my husband just passed away, and the housing loan(bank) fully repaid already. now I am planning to redeem, discharge of the morgage, and hiring a lawyer. Just a question, in order to redeem, I must change the ownership of the property from 2 names to 1 name. I asked SLA, how to change the ownwership I must get the cert of title. changing ownership first, or redeem the title deed comes first? I am confused. BTW this lawyer asked me to pay $700 just to change the ownership from 2 names to 1 name. I thought join tenancy automatically change the ownership to the surviving owner.
