The treatment of a three-way joint tenancy with right of survivorship (JTWROS) ownership of property is considered a very problematic area in estate planning due to its complexities.

Such a grant gives the person the right to the entire real estate with power to possess it and to transfer it to other persons.

This form of ownership gives the owners a unity of possession with separate and distinct titles to the real estate belonging to each owner. Each owner has a right to separately convey and transfer his/her title to the real estate. If one of the owners dies, his or her title passes t...
