If a Joint Tenant has the mortgage in his name and the other joint tenant defaults on his home equity loans what are the legal ramifications to the mortgage holder?

This sounds like a real mess. It sounds like two joint tenants own a piece of property in common with one having the mortgage in his name. The other joint tenant has a piece of property that has a home equity loan about to go into default. In one state the joint tenant with the home equity in default would lose that piece of property. It would not affect the piece of property he or she owned with a different person.


If i have recently found a property that i wish to own on lease plus a monthly rent and i wish to know whether you will have to pay this upfront or whether you can pay it in monthly installments?

You cannot have a property on lease and also on monthly rent. If it is a lease it is an agreement between the landlord and the tenant who pays a lumpsum amount as a deposit to the landlord for a fixed term of years and after the term is over the landlord returns the lumpsum amount deposited with him to the tenant without any interest and the tenant vacates the property. Here the landlord uses the deposit amount for his use and after term expires returns the amount without interest. If an amount is paid as advance the (normally less than the lease amount) amount is also returned to the tenant after the period, but in addition to the lumpsum amount a monthly rent is also being paid, which is non-returnable.


Can exwife receive Retirement benefit?

It depends on the state where you married and the state where you resided. In a community property state, all property that is acquired during marriage - including retirement benefits - is community property and therefore upon legal separation, it is split 50/50.. In a common law state however, each spouse own his/her own income and property, so upon separation - what you earned is still yours.

A life estate expires when the life tenant dies. A life tenant doesn't own the property, it doesn't become part of their estate and therefore they cannot leave it to their heirs in their will. When a life estate is set up in a deed or will there is also a 'remainderman' who will own the property when the life tenant dies.

What type of property ownership allows you to own your share independently and retain the right to transfer that share by sale?

Owning property as a tenant in common or as a joint tenant allows the owner to sell their proportionate interest. However, in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship, the share of a deceased owner passes automatically to the surviving owner bypassing probate. During life that share could be sold. In the case of a tenant in common, their share passes to their estate when they die.Owning property as a tenant in common or as a joint tenant allows the owner to sell their proportionate interest.

What does a tenant in common deed look like?

When two or more people purchase land, they can own it as 'joint tenants' or as 'tenants in common'. If they own it as joint tenants, they each own an equal share of the property. If one joint tenant dies, his/her share is extinguished and the remaining joint tenant(s) is/are the owner(s). The share of the deceased joint tenant does not become part of his/her estate. A husband and wife will usually own a property as joint tenants. If they own it as tenants in common, the share owned by each does not have to be equal. If one tenant in common dies, that share of the property becomes part of the estate of the deceased tenant in common. Usually the deed itself will state that the owners are either joint tenants or tenants in common.
