Answer 1

Sue now owns the property.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Sue and Jane purchased property as joint tenants, they became co-owners of the property. As joint tenants, they had the right of survivorship, which means that when one tenant dies, their share automatically goes to the surviving tenant. Since Jane died recently, Sue now owns the entire property.
