Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Will

That would depend on if they were tenants in common or if they were joint tenants with right of survivorship.

If its they are tenants in common then they may dispose of there interests in the property by will anyway they want.

If its a joint tenancy with right of survivorship then the interest in the property passes on death to the other tenant even without a will.

Where it get sticky is what happens if they die simultaneously which despite what you might think does NOT mean at the exact same time. Its if the surviving tenant lives less than 120 hours longer then the other.

So you need to check the deed to see how the property is titled. That will determine the language that needs to be in the wills.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me, the initial consultation is free.
