[WSBAPT] "undivided interests" in personal property

[Teunis J. Wyers]

I am handling a probate involving interests in, in addition to other
assets, titled motor vehicles and untitled personal property such as coins
and jewelry.  The owners of these items were domestic partners, not
spouses.  It is being suggested to me that these items should be
administered the same as they would be if they were real property.  For
example, there is a car held in both names, with no mention of survivorship
should be the same as a tenancy in common.  Our will divides the estate in
two halves, so it is suggested that each beneficiary will receive 1/4 of
the car.
Does personal property work the same as real property in the probate
context?
