Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Tenants in common

My husband and I are tenants in common with our daughter. We live in Michigan. She lives in Texas with her two sons. If she dies and wills the house to her sons, do we still have tenants in common ownership?

If your daughter dies, and wills her ownership of the house to her sons, they would become tenants in common with your husband and yourself.
