In the event of a husband’s death, if property is owned as tenants by the entirety, what is the status of the property?

When property is owned as tenants by the entirety, it is a form of joint ownership that can only be held between married couples. This form of ownership includes the right of survivorship, meaning that if one partner dies, the surviving partner automatically retains full ownership of the property.

In this scenario, upon the husband's death, the surviving spouse would continue to own the property in its entirety, leaving the son with no ownership interest in the property. This is a key aspect of tenants by the entirety—it creates a situation where ownership passes solely to the surviving spouse, and others, including children, do not inherit any rights to the property.

The other options suggest varying degrees of ownership or share that would not apply in this case due to the nature of tenants by the entirety and the implications of the husband's death. Thus, the correct interpretation aligns with the established principles of property law regarding this specific type of co-ownership.
