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.
What else can I help you with?

Who is JTWROS and Why are They Listed on My Account Statement?
Oftentimes account statements you receive from your bank or brokerage may have the abbreviation JTWROS on them. What does this strange string of letters mean to you? Often shown in its abbreviated format, JTWROS, or Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship is a legal way to hold real property in which ownership is shared by two or more people. Each party, called a joint tenant, enjoys equal rights to the property. That's what the joint tenants part of JTWROS means. Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship can be used in the case of unmarried or married couples. Some assets that are typically held by way of JTWROS include primary residences and bank or brokerage accounts. Sometimes business partners will hold their business property as Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship. What happens when one of the joint tenants dies? That's where the right of survivorship comes into play. Upon the death of one of the joint tenants, the ownership of property passes directly to the other joint tenant(s), regardless of any conflicting instructions for distribution of that property in the decedent's will. So using Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship to hold property keeps the property out of the estate of a deceased joint tenant, though estate and/or gift taxes may apply. But make sure you understand this point; liabilities attached to a property held Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship (like a mortgage on a home) continue to be attached to that property and become the responsibility of the surviving joint tenants. Unless ownership is reregistered differently, property held Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship passes to the estate of the last surviving joint tenant. So the next time you see these letters listed somewhere you'll know what they mean and if someone asks you how you want to register the ownership of an account you may be a little bit more prepared.
If you put your husbands name on your stock account as right of survivorship can he take money out while you are alive?
The aspect of "right of survivorship" is irrelevant to this question. The right to take money out of the account is what is called a "present interest". The present interest means ownership of the property right now. The right of survivorship a type of "future interest". The future interest is what happens to the property in the future after one of the joint owners dies. Right of survivorship is a feature of one of several types of joint ownership. Other types of joint ownership are tenancies in common and tenancies by the entirety. Whether the joint ownership is with right of survivorship, in common or by the entirety. It makes no difference which kind of joint ownership the property is if you want to know if your husband can take out money while you are alive. As long as the account is in any form of joint ownership, he would be able to take money out while you are alive, because you both own the present interest jointly. For stock accounts it may be possible to modify the ownership rights as to the present interest by specifying in the account contract that he does not have the power to take money out without your consent even though he is a joint owner of the present interest. In addition, jointly owned accounts frequently provide that money cannot be taken out by one person alone; that both owners must sign checks and withdrawal slips. So just keep in mind that "right of survivorship" means nothing as to the present right to take money out of any account other than the fact that it is sometimes a feature of joint ownership

It is the umpire's sole decision, but he at least has the right to throw him out of the game. I don't know if he has the right to suspend a little league player, but I know he can definitely bench him, and if it gets out of hand he can have him removed from the property.
