The tenant is the owner, fee simple, for his/her lifetime and pays taxes and insurance as anyone would on land they own. Instead of having an heir, a life estate has a 'remainder' (one who remains) and that person takes ownership after the demise of the life tenant because the deed/title was in the remainder's name all along. Yes?

Who pays the mortgage is another question.

No...the owner is the person who will receive it upon the death of the life estate. That is the person who would receive payment from the insurance company if it were, for example, destroyed in a fire while the tenant with the LED was living there. The person with the LED can't mortgage the property; can't sell the property; can't receive payment if the property is destroyed, so the owner would be responsible for paying the insurance and taxes. The LED holder is responsible only for utilities. In fact, the owner is responsible to pay upkeep as weel, because it benefits their future.

What are the risks involved in joint tenancy titles?

There are no risks in owning land in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. It is a tenancy that is chosen by co-owners who want the title to remain between them if one should die. When one dies the other automatically becomes the sole owner. If the relationship changes the tenancy can be easily broken and converted to a tenancy in common whereby the interest of a co-owner would pass to her estate and to her heirs-at-law upon her death. That conversion should be done with the help of an attorney who specializes in real estate law. One joint tenant can sell their interest in the property and that conveyance would convert the tenancy to a tenancy in common. One joint tenant can force the sale of the property by a Petition to Partition. The court would appoint a commissioner to sell the property and the net proceeds would be divided after the payment of legal costs and the costs associated with the sale.


In a joint Tenant Surivorship Does the bankrupt owner still have ownership when they file chapter 7?

Yes he does, until the owner either dies or conveys his interest in the property, which would then transform the property from joint tenancy to a tenancy in commons. So if there is a joint tenancy and one of the owners files a BK, then half the property (its value) would be included in the BK.


Can Joint Tenancy be changed to tenancy by the entirety?

If the owners become legally married, their title can be converted to a tenancy by the entirety if that tenancy is permitted by state law. The parties should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law to make certain the change is made correctly and effectively under state law.
