No it is community property
There are four forms of co-ownership for property. If you are planning on purchasing a home or inherited property with another, the property is owned as a tenancy in common, a joint tenancy, through community property or tenancy by the entirety. Tenancy by entirety is specific to married couples.
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.
A tenancy by the entirety provides the maximum protectionthat can be acquired by deed. A tenancy by the entirety is a joint tenancy reserved for legally married couples that protects the property from being seized and sold by a creditor of one of the parties. The survivorship rights of either party cannot be severed.In most jurisdictions one party cannot sell or mortgage their interest without the consent of the other party. In certain states (Massachusetts and New York are two examples) there is no law against one tenant by the entirety conveying their interest. However, their deed cannot defeat the survivorship interest of the other tenant by the entirety and a peculiar situation is created.Suppose a husband conveyed his interest to his brother. The husband no longer owns the property. The brother is now taking the husband's place in the unseverable survivorship tenancy. If the husband dies, the brother is out of luck and the brother loses his interest in the property. The wife gets it all. If the wife dies the brother gets it all.
Generally, and in Florida, a tenancy by the entirety is a special joint tenancy reserved for legally married people. They own the property with the unseverable common law right of survivorship. If one dies, the other automatically owns the property. With a general joint tenancy with the right of survivorship the tenancy can be broken by one of the parties and it will transform into a tenancy in common. The right of survivorship within a tenancy by the entirety cannot be severed by one of the parties. One may not sue the other to Partition the property. A creditor of one may not claim the property or the proceeds of sale. In Florida, the signature of both spouses is needed to sell the property and one cannot sell their interest alone. Both are required to sign a mortgage or any other type of contract.

Yes. Michigan recognizes tenancy by the entirety ownership of real property by people who are married.
In most states that allow ownership by married couples an tenants by the entirety both parties must sign in order to sell or mortgage the property. However, in certain states a deed from one tenant by the entirety can create a complicated legal arrangement between the grantee and the other tenant by the entirety whose rights in the tenancy cannot be severed. There is nothing in the laws of Massachusetts or New York to prevent one tenant by the entirety from conveying her own or his own interest in the property, subject to the continuing rights of the other. While it is generally believed that one tenant by the entirety cannot convey their interest because the tenancy cannot be severed, rather it is the survivorship rights of the other that cannot be severed. Thus, if a husband conveyed his interest in the property held as tenants by the entirety to his brother, the husband no longer owns an interest in the property. The brother takes his (the husband's) place within the tenancy. Here is the tricky part: if the wife dies then the husband's brother acquires all interest in the real estate. If the husband dies before the wife then it all goes to her free and clear and the husband's brother has nothing. Some conveyancers have treated deeds by one tenant by the entirety as null. However, such a deed conveys the interest of the grantor in the property subject to the survivorship rights of the other co-tenant. If you are selling property owned by tenants by the entirety, both parties must sign the deed.
