Joint Tenancy on deed with unknown location of person

[tommyg]

What is the name of your state? CA
Situation: mother and son live in home owned and substantially paid for by mother. Mother (70+ yo) and her male partner at time are listed as joint tenants on the retistered deed. His whereabouts is unknown for the last 20+ years. Internet search did not provide a trace or clue for the male partner or his son of same name by another marriage/relationship.

How to get his name off? I was told by LACounty Registry-Reords to go to any COURT, but that is a bit vague.

Any help? Forms? Process?

Sounds like you will have to go to court and file a quiet title suit and, while you are at it, have the guy declared dead.

You have an uphill battle....

or hunt him down and shoot him, then personally declare him dead.
