Tenancy by the Entirety

Tenancy by the Entirety is a form of joint property ownership available only to married couples. This arrangement means both spouses own the entire property together, rather than in shares. If one spouse dies, the other automatically inherits the property without going through probate. Additionally, this type of ownership offers protection from creditors; for example, if one spouse has debt, creditors typically cannot claim the property. This legal structure helps ensure that both partners maintain control over their shared home and provides stability in the event of a spouse’s death.
