Here is why tenancy by the entirety is often the best way to hold title for a married couple. From an asset protection standpoint, tenancy by the entirety provides some tremendous benefits.
Joint tenancy is a form of co-ownership where two or more individuals share equal ownership rights to a property. Each owner has an undivided interest in the property, and if one owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s).
Joint tenancy is most common among married couples because it helps property owners avoid probate. Without joint tenancy, a spouse would have to wait for their partners Last Will to go through a legal review processwhich can take months or even years.
Under South Dakota law, a joint tenant with right of survivorship has the right to unilaterally terminate the joint tenancy at any time without the knowledge or consent of the other joint tenants.
For instance, if youre married, the most common way to title your home is Tenancy by the Entirety (TBE). That endows survivorship rights, some creditor protection, and allows for transfers only with the consent of both spouses.
