Both deeds transfer the ownership of real estate to a new owner. However, they relate to different aspects of ownership.
A warranty deed guarantees that the grantor will defend her title to the property if any title defects arise during the period of ownership of the grantee.
A joint tenancy deed provides how the grantees will hold title. By virtue of a joint tenancy, the interest of a joint tenant who dies passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant with no need of probate.

∙ 13y agoA warranty deed that creates a joint tenancy has the following features:
A warranty deed is the instrument used to transfer ownership of land when the owner guarantees that the title to the land is free from from any defects or outstanding interests.
Joint tenancy (joint tenants with right of survivorship) means that two or more people own a property, and when one dies, the Survivor automatically owns the property with no need of probate. Each grantee on the deed takes an equal share of the property, regardless of contribution to purchase price. A joint tenant may sell their interest and break the joint tenancy.

How do you sever a joint tenancy?
A joint tenancy between two people can be severed by either party executing a deed of their interest to another grantee. If they wish to retain their interest in the property but simply sever the tenancy, their grantee can immediately convey the property back and the new tenancy between the original owners will be a tenancy in common. That procedure is called a straw deed.

How can a joint tenancy created by a warranty deed be changed?
In some states a joint tenancy can be extinguished by one party executing a deed of their interest to a new owner who would then become a tenant in common with the other joint owner. State laws differ on whether a joint tenancy between married individuals can be severed. You should consult with an attorney in your state who specializes in real estate law. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.
Joint Tenancy Warranty Deed vs Divorce Decree If a warranty deed is in Joint Tenancy and a divorce decree says its a 60 40 split which document rules?
Ok the property is held in joint tenancy which means upon the death of one of the joint tenants, the property, by operation of law, passes to the survivor. The Divorce Decree (Judgment) does not effect this. Now if a memorandum of the Divorce Decree was recorded it would become a lien on the property and would eventually have to be satisfied from a sale. If both of the joint tenants are alive, the Divorce Decree controls. If one of the joint tenants dies the estate of the deceased joint tenant would have a claim against the surviving joint tenant under the Decree. Tony B.

In Colorado what happens to your home if you die and your spouse is an owner by a Quitclaim Deed but is not named on the General Warranty Deed?
Assuming that one party acquired the land by virtue of a warranty deed and then conveyed it to himself or herself and spouse by a quitclaim deed, that would be effective as long as the deed was drafted properly. You need to check the tenancy created in the most recent deed. If it is a joint tenancy and one owner dies the survivor owns the property automatically. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.
Why would you have to sign off on a warranty deed after your mother's death if your name was not on the deed?
If your mother's will named you as an heir, and she owned the house, then you would be an heir to the house (which has a deed in her name). If she had no will, then your state laws would almost always give a share of the house to any surviving children, again with only her name on the deed. If she and someone else had a joint tenancy deed, then her will (and the state laws of intestacy) have nothing to do with it, and it automatically becomes owned by the remaining survivors of the joint tenancy. If she is the final survivor, see above, as she had become the full owner.
Are Joint Tenants with a right of survivorship the same as Tenants In Common?
No they are different types of real property co-ownership. Tenancy in common is a type of co-ownership where two or more people ("tenants in common") own the property. It is the default tenancy in many jurisdictions when the tenancy is not stated in a deed with multiple grantees. Tenants in Common:Can own the property in equal or unequal sharesHave the right to the use and possession of the whole of the propertyPass on their share of the property to their heirs when they dieIn a joint tenancy the desire to create a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship must be so stated in the deed. The interest of any deceased joint tenant passes automatically to the surviving joint tenants. A joint tenancy is created only if the following four conditions, called the Four Unities, are met:Time- All the tenants acquired their interest at the same time.Title- All the tenants have the same title.Interest- All the tenants have an equal share.Possession- All tenants must have an equal right to possess the property.
How can you tell if your title is a joint tenants or tenants in common title?
The only way is to read the deed. It will specify how the title is written.For example, if it says "joint tenants", "jointly" or "tenants by the entirety", or "a married couple", it is joint title. Otherwise, if it simply lists two or more names then there is a presumption that they are are "tenants in common."Similarly, if title is passed by will, the specific words will determine if title is joint or common, as in "to my surviving children jointly with right of survivorship" or "to my surviving children."ClarificationIn some jurisdictions simply referring to the owners as a married couple will not create a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. In those states, a tenancy in common is the default tenancy if the tenancy is not specifically created in the deed. Massachusetts is one example. In some states simply reciting joint tenants in a deed does not create a joint tenancy. The words, "with right of survivorship" must be stated clearly. You need to check your state laws regarding creation of a joint tenancy.
