Who pays the bills when a property is titled JTWRS?
"JTWRS" means Joint Tenancy With Rights of Survivorship, and is strictly the legal description of how real property is owned and recorded. If one of the owners dies, the property automatically passes to the other. It and has nothing whatsoever to do with who pays the bills.
A close friend and you had a Cdwith rights of survivorship Can the family take this money away from you?
No. If the CD was held as JTWRS then your friend's interest automatically passed to you if he/she died. You would be the sole owner of the CD.
Will adding your name to the title of your parents' home prevent you from having to pay extra taxes when they die?
Yes. If it is done correctly the home will not be subject to probate procedures and therefore not subject to taxation. The best option if allowed by the state in which the property is located is Joint Tenants With The Right of Survivorship, (JTWRS). This is accomplished by the parents signing and recording a quitclaim deed from themselves to themselves and the child (person) who is to become the co-owner as JTWRS. Each named person becomes an equal share property owner and the property is exempt from probate and taxation upon the death of any owner.
Can children of a deceased son claim part of his inheritance when his mother died after him and had joint account with daughter?
If the matter concerns the joint account it is not likely any of the funds would be subject to distribution to other family members. When bank accounts of any sort are held jointly they are generally held as Joint Tenants With Rights of Survivorship (JTWRS). This means that upon the death of one account holder the funds revert directly to the surviving account holder(s) and are not subject to probate procedure. If the banking agreement/signature card does not designate how the account is held, the state's default law usually presumes the account to be of JTWRS status.
Can an adult child named on a JTWRS deed with their mother be evicted if the mother dies due to large credit card refinancing on the mortgage loan if the loan is only in the mother's name?
Real property held as JTWRS does not enter probate procedure nor is it subject to creditor attachment unless the surviving owners are joint debtors. If there is a mortgage with outstanding balance or the house has been used as collateral to secure a loan, the surviving owners are responsible for the debt or the lender can foreclose on the property, regardless of the wording of the title. The property itself is the collateral for the loan and the lender is the lien holder of the property until the mortgage/loan is paid off.
A New Jersey father left his interest in land held as joint tenants with his wife to his children. His surviving spouse contested the will but has died before the hearing. What happens now?
If two people own property as joint owners with the right of survivorship, when one dies sole ownership passes automatically to the survivor bypassing probate. A joint owner cannot leave his interest in a JTWRS to anyone in his will. The property is not in his estate. Think of it this way: When two people own property as JTWRS they each own the whole property. When a JTWRS dies his interest in the property disappears and the survivor is left as sole owner.It is highly unlikely for a court to break a JTWRS between a husband and wife and it seems to be irresponsible for any attorney to make that challenge. Unless you can prove the joint tenancy between your father and his wife was for convenience only, the property passed to her upon his death. Unless the court decides otherwise, the sole ownership of the property passed to her heirs-at-law upon her death if she died intestate or to her beneficiaries under her will. Her estate must be probated. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.If this matter isn't handled correctly, a resolution counter to the law will result in a title defect. Any future sale of the property will trigger a title examination. The exam will reveal the title defect and the matter will need to be resolved at that time before the property can be sold.
Your sister made your mother give her poa on her money and assets although mom also had a hand written will then they bought a home together your sister had it with jtwrs when mom died what were my ri?
If your mother had capacity and was not unduly influenced, you have no rights to it. If she had no capacity or was unduly influenced, then you have a lawsuit to try to undo it.
Would the executrix of her mother's Will receive the JTWRS property she currently lives in after forcing her mom to move to a rental and incur large mortgage refinancing and CC debt in Tennessee?
The issue of her being the executrix is not relevant in regards to the property ownership. Real property titled as Joint Tenants (or Tenancy) With Rights Of Survivorship (JTWRS) is not subject to probate procedure and passes directly to the surviving owners. The sister/executrix had no legal grounds to force the mother out of the jointly owned home and should be held legally accountable for the action. Likewise, the person holding the mortgage is only relevant regarding the repayment of the debt and has no bearing on the ownership of the property itself, that is always determined by the wording of a General Warranty Deed or title
If you am a power of attorney for your parents and your father recently deceased leaves just you and your mom do you need to also have your name on her bank signature cards?
yes yes yes.... well my siblings and i have just recently hAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS..if you are not on the account it freezes at death until the estate is settled.. also u might want to be put on as joint with survivorship not as tentants in common... hope this a little helpful If your mother and father held the account jointly it likely will not become a part of probate procedure and your mother may continue to use the account as she always has. Marital accounts are presumed by law to be JTWRS with the exception being the signature card designating a different type of account. A few states allow a married couple to hold bank accounts as Tenancy By The Entirety which is the same as JTWRS, with the exception that it cannot be attached by a creditor judgment if only one spouse owes the debt.
If a daughter is added as Joint Tenant with Right of Survivorship on a mobile home in California will she be liable to sell and use the deceased half to pay any unpaid debts such as credit cards?
You didn't mention if a Will was involved. Wills are Probated and that means that the bulk of Estate is taken into consideration and to be sure all personal/property taxes are paid in full and all debts. What is left after that is called "residue" of the Estate and that's what will be left to the daughter or any other Heirs in the Will. Marcy * Yes, the designation of JTWRS on a deed allows the property to pass directly to the named person(s) leaving the property exempt from probate procedure. Therefore the "new" owners may take whatever action they choose concerning the property, including a sale. Profits from the sale of such property would not be subject to attachment by creditors for debts owed by the deceased, they would belong solely to the persons who became the owners via the JTWRS deeding.
