Yes — the Nevada Affidavit of Death of Joint Tenant requires notarization before it can be recorded with the county recorder. This affidavit removes a deceased joint tenant's name from property title, allowing the surviving joint tenant to hold clear title by operation of law.

The Affidavit of Death of Joint Tenant — also called an Affidavit Terminating Joint Tenancy — is a sworn statement used to remove a deceased person's name from real property title when the property was held in joint tenancy. When one joint tenant passes away, their interest passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant by operation of law.
Even though the transfer occurs automatically at death, the deceased person's name remains on the recorded title until the surviving joint tenant files this affidavit with the county recorder. Under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 111.365), recording this affidavit together with a certified death certificate clears the title and formally establishes the surviving joint tenant as the sole owner.
Clearing title through this affidavit is essential before the property can be sold, refinanced, transferred, or used as collateral for a loan.

Our notary arrives at your location, verifies each signer's identity using valid photo ID, and reviews the completed affidavit for accuracy before notarization.
The surviving joint tenant signs the affidavit in the notary's presence. The notary administers any required oath, witnesses the signature, and applies the official Nevada notarial seal and wet-ink signature.
Submit the notarized affidavit and a certified copy of the death certificate to the Clark County Recorder's Office or appropriate Nevada county recorder. Recording fees apply. Once recorded, title is cleared in the surviving joint tenant's name.
The surviving joint tenant — the person who is still living — must sign the affidavit. This person must present valid government-issued photo ID such as a Nevada driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, or military ID.
The notary verifies identity and witnesses the signature but does not confirm the legal sufficiency of the affidavit or whether joint tenancy was properly established in the original deed. Consult an attorney if you have questions about title or vesting.
