If property purchased and deed was 'joint tenants with right of survivorship' doesn't property belong to spouse after the divorce then death of ex-spouse if neither party remarried?

As long as there were no changes made to the tenancy by deed the joint tenancy would remain intact and the title to the property would automatically pass to the survivor. The situation would be different if the property was held by a tenancy by the entirety.


In North Carolina if husband and wife are both on a deed to a home and one dies can the other person sell?

That depends on how they held tenancy. If they held with the right of survivorship then the surviving spouse would own the property. There would be survivorship rights in a tenancy by the entirety or a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. If they held as tenants in common others may have an interest in the property if the decedent didn't devise their share to the surviving spouse by will.

Is it legal to form a tenancy by entirety to avoid a lien being placed on your property in Missouri?

This can be a complicated situation and a change in ownership of property or tenancy can be undone by a court if it was done to avoid a known creditor.A Tenancy by the Entirety (TBE) is a form of property ownership in Missouri and some other states reserved for married couples. Property owned as tenants by the entirety belongs to the marriage, which means that both spouses own the property as one person, and thus, both of them own 100% interest in the property. A creditors lien against one of the spouses cannot force the sale of the real estate. However, a lien against both is effective and that creditor can force the sale to satisfy the lien.If you do not hold your real estate as TBE and you have notice of a lien, then you convert the tenancy to a TBE, the lien will likely take priority. Real property owned by married couples should be held as TBE where that exemption is available in order to protect the property from creditors of one spouse.


If the deed does not say tenancy by the entirety is it so for Pennsylvania?

You really haven't given enough information to answer this question. First, in order for a property to be owned as "tenancy by the entirety," you must be married. Furthermore, the property must have been acquired jointly, and by the same instrument. If the issuer of the deed (i.e., a mortgage company) unilaterally dropped one of the names that SHOULD have been on the deed, then you're in the money, assuming they do not rectify the situation. In such a situation, the property is still held as tenancy by the entirety, but the debt is only as against one of you, meaning that upon that person's death, the property would pass unencumbered to the remaining spouse. See, e.g., Regions Mortg., Inc. v. Muthler, 585 Pa. 464, 889 A.2d 39 (Pa.,2005).


How does divorce affect property interest formerly held as tenants by the entirety and what happens when one dies?

A divorce decree generally breaks a tenancy by the entirety and creates a tenancy in common between the parties. In that case when one dies their half interest in the property passes under their will or to their heirs at law under the state laws of intestacy if they had no will. You can check the laws of your state at the related question link provided below. In your case the interest would pass to the spouse of the decedent or the decedent's children.
