220.0000 CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

Annotation 220.0303

220.0303 Joint Tenancy. When a married couple and a third person hold title to property as joint tenants, and one of the spouses records a declaration that all real property owned by him/her is community property regardless of the manner in which title is held, the joint tenancy is terminated as to the recording party. The remaining owners continue to hold their two-thirds interests in joint tenancy. The one-third community property interest is owned by the husband and the wife but does not result in reappraisal since it is merely a change in the manner of holding title. C 4/10/1985.
