Tenancy by the entireties

Read a random definition: land warfare

A quick definition of Tenancy by the entireties:

Tenancy by the entireties: This is a type of ownership where a married couple owns property together. They both have equal rights to the property and if one spouse dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner. This type of ownership is only available to married couples and is recognized in some states in the United States.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tenancy by the entireties is a type of joint ownership of property that is only available to married couples. In this type of ownership, both spouses have an equal and undivided interest in the property. If one spouse dies, the surviving spouse automatically becomes the sole owner of the property.

Example: John and Jane are married and own a house together as tenants by the entireties. If John were to pass away, Jane would automatically become the sole owner of the house, without the need for probate or any other legal process.

Explanation: This example illustrates how tenancy by the entireties works. Because John and Jane are married and own the property together in this way, if one of them were to pass away, the other would automatically become the sole owner of the property. This can be a useful way for married couples to ensure that their property passes to the surviving spouse without the need for additional legal steps.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
