Re: right of survivorship

I am not sure I see the entire picture. If two give their share to the other three, then each of the three own one-third each. Probate will be needed for the one-third in the name of deceased. Claims against the deceased only valid up to value owned by deceased. Property can be sold but you will need to take this matter through the probate court. Call me if you want to discuss your options.
