(concurrent estates) in the following ways:1. If the Grantees ARE NOT married to each other, they can hold the property
as:a. Tenants in Common: a type of concurrent estate in which each party
owns an undivided interest in the property that will pass to their heirs
when the tenant in common dies. Generally their shares are “equal”
but may differ in size. b. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship (JTWROS): is a type of
concurrent estate in which co-owners have a right of survivorship,
meaning that if one owner dies, that owner's interest in the property
will pass to the surviving owner or owners by operation of law, and
avoiding probate.2. If the Grantees ARE married to each other, they can hold the property as:a. Tenants in Common – See aboveb. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship – See abovec. Community Property - a form of joint ownership of property between
married individuals. When a married co-owner dies their share goes to
their heirs as provided in their will or the laws of intestacy.d. Community Property with the right of survivorship - a form of joint
ownership of property between married individuals. When a married
co-owner dies their share goes to the surviving spouse.3.In the attached deed, the preparer will need to indicate how the Grantees will
hold the property: as Tenants in Common; Joint Tenants with Right of
Survivorship; community property or community property with the right of
survivorship.B. For additional information on the above see the definitions at:http://lawdigest.uslegal.com/
