Answer 1

When Bob dies, Kyle will own the property as a tenant in severalty. Bob's interest in the property will be part of his estate and must go through probate before being distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Bob dies, Kyle will own the property as a tenant in severalty. This means that Kyle will now have sole ownership of the property, without any other co-owners. Bob's interest in the property will be part of his estate and will go through probate before being distributed to his heirs.
