**Property Ownership Scenarios: Understanding Joint Tenancy vs. Tenancy in Common****Scenario Description:**Xena and Zinc jointly owned a parcel of property. Xena sold her share of the property to Sola. Xena then died. Xena has a child, Eos, and Zinc has a child, Kirros. This raises questions about property ownership depending on whether it was owned as joint tenants or as tenants in common.**Case Analysis:**1. **Joint Tenancy:** - In joint tenancy, owners have equal shares of the property with the right of survivorship. This means if one owner dies, their share automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant(s). - Since Xena sold her share to Sola before her death, the joint tenancy between Xena and Zinc was severed, converting it into a tenancy in common. - After Xena’s death, ownership would depend on the new status as tenants in common (explained below).2. **Tenancy in Common:** - Each owner has a distinct share, and there is no right of survivorship. - Xena’s share, which she sold to Sola, is effectively owned by Sola. Zinc retains their original share. - Therefore, post Xena’s death, Sola and Zinc own the property as tenants in common with respect to their acquired shares.**Conclusion:**- If initially held as joint tenants, once Xena sold her share to Sola, joint tenancy was converted to tenancy in common. Thus, Zinc and Sola now own their respective shares.- If initially held as tenants in common, the ownership outcome remains the same post-sale and death: Zinc and Sola are the property owners.
