| I am joint owner of property in West Virginia that my deceased mother deeded to my brother and myself as Joint Tenants. The deed states we are Joint Tenants with full rights of survivorship between us and upon the death of any of the parties the real estate shall be vested in and with the remaining living parties , and any share of such deceased party shall be at an end and of no force or effect. Does this mean that if I was to die, my brother would be the only owner and that my husband or daughters would have no rights to any of that property? If so can I go to an Attorney in West Virginia and deed my part of that property that is owned jointly by me and my brother to my husband and family?
I am trying to buy my brothers share of the West Virginia property, so far I have not had any success. Can I just move on the property and put another home on it if my borther will not sell his part to me? I am sorry about so many questions but I live in Pennsylvania an am desperately wanting to move back to my home town and the home place in West Virginia, but I am afraid to invest any money in placing an additional home on the land if I can not deed my part of the jointly owned property to my husband since we would be spending almost our entire savings on placing a home on this property. |
