Re: Deeds ANd Property
The father and mother are on the deed as tenants in common. Therefore, when you father dies 50% of the property will belong to your mother and 50% of the property will belong to your father's estate.
That part of the property that belongs to the father's estate will be transferred in accordance with his will.
It seems that this will be messy in the future. Therefore, if possible, I would ask your father (while he is alive) as to what his intentions are with the property.
Mike.
