South Dakota Estate Planning - Joint Tenancy Pros and Cons

Family Law and Estate Planning attorney helping families across South Dakota plan and protect their loved ones

Joint tenancy is a form of legal ownership where the property passes automatically at the death of one of the owners to the remaining joint tenants. Typically, there are two joint tenants, though there could be three or more joint tenants. While this form of ownership may be convenient, especially for couples, it can be disastrous when it is used with others.
