**A: go get the deed and type exactly what the tenancy in the deed states; word for word.
JT in Common is not a tenancy.

jt in common

that is exactly what the deed says: "JT In Common"; uncle loved to play his hand at all sorts of job positions, including lawyer, and prepared the deed himself for him and the lady friend.

**A: in my opinion, the courts would deem the tenancy to be tenants in common but I see a big fight brewing. And the parties should seek legal counsel.
