recorded quit claim deed 2002, reads tenants in common with rights of survivorship, garator has died, im the garantee and have been told that that the deed means that i am not the survivor that the garantors children are entitled to his half, surely this cannot be so, we where both joint owners in our life time and survivorship was to revert to the living party ????
You are correct. If you have survivorship rights to the property, then you would get the property after the other owner's death. Consult an attorney and take his opinion as to what steps you need to take in order to claim the whole property as your own.
I THINK CONSULT ATTORNEY FOR THIS.
