deeds

We have a deed the we own 1/2 interest and as tenants by the entireties to each other and as tenanats in common with the 1st (2) grantees.

The other parties have deceased and we are wondering if there 1/2 goes to the estate of does it go to us who own the other 1/2 of the property? PLEASE HELP

Re: deeds

Tenants in common is a form of ownership which does not devolve upon the partners in the land. While tenants by entireties and joint survivorship does. That is a big difference. So your 2 grantees who have tenants in common ownership with you have died and now their interests are owned by their heirs.

Re: deeds

Someone needs to read the Deed carefully...then give you an answer.

Most attorneys would charge a very small fee to consult on this matter. if you'd like me to do it, you can fax the Deed to my office and then I'll call you.
