I'm not an attorney, and you certainly need the help of an attorney. But joint tenants have equal and undivided rights in the property they own. It doesn't seem unreasonable that creditors will want something from the mother's property.

How do you know if you have right of survivorship on a property you own with a non-spouse?

A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.


Is Mississippi a tenants by the entirety state?

No, Mississippi is not a tenants by the entirety state. In Mississippi, property ownership between spouses is typically held as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in common. Tenancy by the entirety is recognized in some states but is not applicable in Mississippi. This means that each spouse has an equal and undivided interest in the property, but it does not provide the same protections against creditors as tenancy by the entirety.
