Tenancy by the Entirety

Read a random definition: comity of nations

A quick definition of Tenancy by the Entirety:

Tenancy by the entirety is a way that married couples can own property together. They each have an equal share in the property and can use it however they want. If one spouse dies, the other spouse automatically becomes the sole owner of the property. They can't sell or give away their share of the property without the other spouse's permission.

A more thorough explanation:

Tenancy by the entirety is a type of property ownership that is only available to married couples. In this type of ownership, both spouses have an equal and undivided interest in the property. They also have the right to use and occupy the property, and if one spouse dies, the other spouse automatically becomes the sole owner of the property.

For example, John and Jane are married and own a house as tenants by the entirety. 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.

It's important to note that tenants by the entirety cannot transfer their interest in the property without the consent of the other spouse. This means that if John and Jane were to divorce, they would need to agree on how to divide the property.

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl

Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
