Joan and her daughter, Harriett, owned 32 acres of ranch property near Flagstaff, Arizona. Their deed listed them as joint tenants with right of survivorship. Harriett got married after she and Joan got title to the ranch property and she conveyed her

interest in the ranch to herself and her new husband, Jeff, as joint tenants with right of survivorship. Joan has passed away. Explain who owns how much in the ranch property following Joan's death.


The joint tenancy was severed with Harriett's conveying her share to herself and Jeff. Since Harriett did not comply with the unities requirements for creating a joint tenancy, she and Jeff are tenants in common. Jeff owns 1/4 and Harriett owns 1/4. Now, if Joan left all of her property to Harriett, then Harriett would own 3/4 of the ranch as a tenant in common.
