County: Wood
Age: 82
The client needed to know if her deed creates a right of survivorship with her daughter. I reviewed her deed and researched the relevant code provisions and case law. I explained that while West Virginia has done away with the assumption that joint tenancies create right of survivorship, her deed states that the relationship is as joint tenants and not as tenants in common. Arguably, this creates a right of survivorship.
