In Georgia, which type of co-ownership automatically creates a right of survivorship?
AA. Tenancy in common
BB. Joint tenancy with right of survivorship (JTWROS)✓ Correct
CC. Tenancy by the entireties
DD. All co-ownerships in Georgia
Explanation
Joint tenancy with right of survivorship (JTWROS) creates automatic transfer of a deceased co-owner's interest to the surviving co-owner(s), outside of probate. Georgia must specifically state JTWROS in the deed for this right to apply. Tenancy in common has no right of survivorship.
