B. Tenancy in common
,C. Severalty

survivorship?
A. A deceased owner's interest passes to their heirs per their will
B. The surviving owners must purchase the deceased owner's share
C. The deceased owner's interest automatically passes to the surviving joint
tenants
D. The estate is divided equally among all heirs of the deceased
E. The property must go through probate before transfer

defining feature of joint tenancy. When one joint tenant dies, their interest
automatically transfers to the surviving joint tenants without probate.

A. Title, time, interest, and possession
B. Use, enjoyment, exclusion, and transfer
C. Time, title, interest, and possession

Correct Answer: C EXPERT RATIONALE: In tenancy in common, each owner
holds a separate, undivided interest that passes to their heirs upon death rather
than to the other co-owners. Shares may be unequal and acquired at different
times.
