NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The way you state that title was listed seems to be a conflict. Normally it is Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship OR Tenants in Common (no survivorship). You need to double check what you have stated to verify its accuracy. If it does state what you say, there might be a problem with the survivorship clause which would require legal research and/or a lawsuit to determine.
