I had posted a query here about what the status of a co-owner was when the other coowner died intestate.
I received two replies both saying the dead co-owners share is then transferred to all living heirs. But this seems to be
wrong when the two co-owners are husband and wife and acquired property at the same time without any separation
of parts of the house. There are numerous articles on legal websites saying this is a case of 'joint ownership' and not ownership
in common, therefore the surviving co-owner gets the dead one's share. There is some concept of 'ownership in entirety'
which governs property ownership of husband and wife on this type. But I cannot find a single judgment, Act or sention which elaborates this. Can someone help me just locate a few judgments or tell me this is a wrong interpretation?
Thanks
