Property Ownership
A NH deed from a grantor to 'A and B as joint tenants' is later transferred by A alone to C. The result is:
AC and B hold the property as joint tenants
BA's transfer severs the joint tenancy; C and B hold as tenants in common✓ Correct
CThe transfer is void — joint tenants cannot convey their interest
DB becomes the sole owner
Explanation
When one joint tenant transfers their interest to a third party, it severs the joint tenancy for that share. C (the transferee) and B hold as tenants in common — the right of survivorship is destroyed between them.
