Friends Jack, Jill, and Harold bought a warehouse property in North Carolina, and the deed simply stated, "as joint tenants." Assuming Harold had a will when he died, who got his share of the warehouse?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In North Carolina, joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship unless otherwise stated. If a deed says 'as joint tenants,' and right of survivorship is implied or established, then Harold's share automatically passes to the surviving joint tenants (Jack and Jill), regardless of Harold's will. Since nothing indicates the tenancy was anything other than traditional joint tenancy with survivorship, Jack and Jill receive Harold's share.

It's definitely C) Jack and Jill. Joint tenancy means right of survivorship.

Wait, does the will even matter in this case? I thought joint tenancy overrides individual wills.

I recall a similar question where joint tenants automatically inherit each other's shares. So, I would lean towards C) Jack and Jill.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like if Harold had a will, it might complicate things. Did we cover that in class?

I think I remember that joint tenancy means the right of survivorship, so Harold's share would go to Jack and Jill.
