I. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS
The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe
Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your comput er.
They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a ty pewriter or by
hand.
It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on
Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on t he
Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and t he form fields will be
visible.
By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed informat ion. In
some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other
cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner. II. DESIGNATING HOW THE GRANTEES WILL HOLD THE PROPERTY:
A. In the State of Michigan, real property can be held by more than one person
(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 wh ich each
party owns an undivided interest in the property that wi ll pass to
their heirs when the tenant in common dies. Generally t heir 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 above
b. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship – See above
c. Tenants by the Entirety - a type of concurrent estate formerly
available only to married couples, where ownership of prope rty is
treated as though the couple were a single legal person . Like a
JTWROS, the tenancy by the entirety also encompasses a right of
survivorship, so if one spouse dies, the entire interest in th e
property passes to the surviving spouse, without going through
probate.
3. In the attached deed, the preparer will need to indica te how the Grantees
will hold the property: as Tenants in Common; Joint Tena nts with Right of
Survivorship; or, Tenants by the Entirety.
B. For additional information on the above see the defin itions at:
http://lawdigest.uslegal.com/
C. For example:
“. . . as tenants in common , . . .” OR
“. . . as tenants by the entireties , . . .” OR
“. . . as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and not a s tenants in common .”
