Tenancy by the entirety (or entireties)
|
| Enter Glossary Term Description:
A survivorship estate in land permitted in many states that may only vest in a husband and wife. The couple must receive title in the same conveyance, beginning at the same time, and with undivided possession. If either the husband or wife dies during the estate, title vests in the survivor. In a tenancy by entireties, the husband and wife together are treated as one entity. Both are required to act. |
