Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
mother and father bought land by entiries with daughter with joint tenants with rights of survivorship , father dies and can mother now give her share to someone else still other person on deed.
1 Answer from Attorneys
From your description of how title was taken, upon father's death, mother became the sole owner of father's and mother's entirety interest, and she became the owner with daughter as joint tenants with right of survivorship. That means that either she or daughter will become the sole owner upon the death of the other. Technically, she doesn't own a separate share to give away.
Mother should consult a lawyer if she wants to do something with the property, and daughter should consult a separate lawyer to protect her own interest.
THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.
* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.
* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
