In this episode of "Close to Home," host Nicole Sullivan, an experienced attorney from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, delves into the intricacies of property ownership, explicitly focusing on the distinctions between joint and common tenancy. Nicole explains that in Mississippi, tenancy in common is the default ownership structure, where each owner's share is subject to probate upon death, passing to their heirs according to their will or through intestate succession. Conversely, joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship, allowing the surviving owner to inherit the deceased's share without probate automatically. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand property ownership options and the implications of each type. Tune in for valuable legal insights that bring clarity to these critical concepts!
