The Affidavit Of Surviving Joint Tenant is a crucial document in German property law used when one joint tenant of a property passes away and the surviving tenant needs to establish their right to full ownership. This document is required by German land registry offices (Grundbuchamt) to update property records and is governed by the German Civil Code (BGB) and Land Registry Law (Grundbuchordnung). It must be notarized in accordance with German law and typically includes detailed information about the property, proof of death, and confirmation of the joint tenancy arrangement. The affidavit serves as a formal declaration under oath, establishing the survivor's right to assume full ownership without going through the standard inheritance process, provided the joint tenancy agreement remains valid at the time of death.
