joint tenancy w/out survivorship

Posted on: 30th Dec, 2008 03:19 pm
3 siblings own land by Joint Tenancy w/out rights of survivorship. Sibling 1 dies, leaving 3 children and a wife (their stepmom). Does land go back to the 2 siblings, wife or children? Wife dies, leaving 3 stepchildren and her own siblings. If she was entitled at spouse's death (sibling 1), where does land legally go? Oklahoma
Hi gdm!

Welcome to forums!

You have mentioned that property is owned by joint tenancy without right to survivorship. In that case, if one sibling dies, his heirs will get the property. His heirs will have to file an affidavit of heirship and transfer the property in their name. Or if the deceased sibling has left a will, then his portion of the property will go the person/persons mentioned in the will. The wife will have the right to own the property of the deceased husband. If the wife dies, then the wife's will come into effect.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Hi Franklin!

Welcome to forums!

The children of the deceased sister will be able to claim heirship rights to that property. They can file an affidavit of heirship and get their mother's share of the property transferred in their names.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
