Tenancy by the entirety

When a couple is married after hu*****and already bought the house, the hu*****and can deed the house, by a quitclaim deed, to himself and his wife as "tenancy by the entirety".  This means, when the hu*****and dies, the wife automatically own the house, without going through probate.

Similarily, during lifetime the hu*****and and the wife "jointly" owns TV, couch, bank account, and when the hu*****and dies, these properties does not go through probate, is not counted as the hu*****and's estate, and are transfered to the wife directly.

This is why LZ won't get any money back.  All assets by the hu*****and is jointly owned by the wife, passed onto the wife by joint ownership.  The hu*****and has no individual ownership of any money to himself.

• 即使房产不能动，那人也还是欠了钱的。欠的钱应该可以从其他的资产中还回吧？ -N.- ♀ (349 bytes) () 06/09/2014 postreply 10:43:18
