Question of the Day

In a gift of a parcel of real estate, one of the two owners was given an undivided 60 percent interest and the other received an undivided 40 percent interest. The two owners hold their interests as what?

Explanation

In order to create joint tenancy, some form of relationship must exist between the parties involved, whether business, spousal or other. Because their interests were acquired as a gift, the parties in this instance become tenants in common, with all the ownership benefits of joint tenancy, but not the survivorship rights.
