A Survivorship Deed is an arrangement for owning real property by which a person(s) becomes entitled to a greater interest in jointly owned property by reason of her having survived another person who had an interest in property. A survivorship deed is one that creates a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship or a tenancy-by-the-entirety for legally married couples.
A survivorship deed that creates a joint tenancy can name any number of grantees but they must each have an equal interest in the property. If four own the property by survivorship and one dies the other three will each own a one-third interest. The survivorship aspect means that when one dies their interest passes to the survivors automatically with no need for probate.
If two people own a property by survivorship and one dies, the Survivor will become the sole owner with no need of probate. As joint tenants die the survivors only need to record their death certificate in the land records to clear the title of the decedent's interest.
A survivorship exempt deed is a deed that conveys property in the names of multiple people. This type of deed is exempt from tax reassessment.

A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property.

If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.
