<div>I have a client who owned real property with her spouse. The husband owned the property initially, quit claimed the property to him and his wife as follows: “H and W, Husband and Wife, with Right of Survivorship.” Husband/Joint owner is now deceased.
The recording office in Clark County tells me that I need to record a new deed and file an excise tax return as well. I was initially thinking that I would need to file the death certificate to show proof of death of joint tenant and possibly and affidavit.
Is this additional step of recording a new deed necessary?</div>

<div>Thanks for any words of wisdom!</div>
