My attorney has not responded. Army Judge's response above is exactly what I read too. If we don't do it as Joint Tenants, we lose survivorship rights. Shouldn't my attorney have asked me how I wanted it done....and then done what I asked rather than pushing us completely in the wrong direction???
My partner and I are closing on a house in two weeks and I asked my attorney to title it as Joint Tenants at 50/50 ownership. I want it that way so that we would have survivorship rights in case of death and the deceased's half would automatically go to the other without going to probate or...
