Details crucial in real estate partnerships Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:14:00 PST
Q: My parents (now in their 80s) own a small apartment building with my brother and his wife. Title is held as joint tenants with right of survivorship. When the property was purchased, they agreed to split ownership 50-50. Both couples also agreed that if they died, their respective 50 percent would go to their respective estate and not to the remaining partners. I have two questions: (1.) Shouldn't they have the title redrawn as tenants in common to accomplish what they initially intended?; and (2.) If my brother and his wife refuse to go along with changing the title, can my parents change it without their consent? My brother has made it clear that they want their 50 percent share to go to their kids, but they may be banking on acquiring 100 percent of the property upon my parents' death if title stays the way it is.
