Question

Jay owns Gatsby Islands and wants to convey it to his good friends, Nick and Daisy. Nick lives next door to Jay while Daisy lives across the waters. He conveys an interest in Gatsby Islands "to Nick as tenants by the entirety." Two months later, he makes a corresponding conveyance to Daisy. Jay created the following:_______

a. tenancy in common
b. severalty community property
c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
d. tenancy by entirety

Answer 1

Correct Answer:

c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship

Step-by-step explanation:

The property Jay owes on Gatsby Island belongs to him but he wishes to share th ownership with his 2 good friends. His conveyance of the message to both which reads "tenants by the entirety" shows that he and his friends has equal ownership and rights to the Gatsby Island property.

In the event that either him or one of the friends dies, the full title of the property automatically passes to the surviving person.
