To change from joint tenancy to tenants in common, you need to modify the deed and update the ownership structure. California law allows unilateral severance of joint tenancy by recording a deed transfer. Proposition 19 can affect tax reassessment when ownership interest is transferred in California.
NOTE: If you co-own the property as joint tenancy or community property with right of survivorship, the other owner receives your share of the property upon your death. The TOD deed has no effect unless you outlive your co-owner.
If your relationship has broken down it is important that you consider severing the joint tenancy. If you do not sever the tenancy then, if you die, the whole property will go to your partner. If you own the property as tenants in common then you can decide what happens to your share of the property in your will.
If you are joint tenants, you may wish to change the tenancy so that it is in the sole name of one of the joint tenants, for example because one of the joint tenants has moved out. A joint tenancy can be changed to a sole tenancy by an order made by the court.
If your co-owner is married, there is a risk of the property being subject to divorce proceedings. With something like a bank account, there is the risk that the co-owner could go on a spending spree and drain the account. In some situations, creating a joint ownership can also create gift tax or income tax problems.
