[WSBAPT] Deed Clarification

[Inge Fordham]

Unless the deed says otherwise, 50% to Mary Smith and 50% to John and Joan Smith, a married couple (which would be a CP interest as you mentioned).

Subject: [WSBAPT] Deed Clarification
Apologies if this seems like a silly question but the title company does not know the answer and neither do I.  I have a deed that conveys to Mary Smith, an individual, and John and Joan Smith, a married couple. Does this create a 1/3 interest in each of the three parties or a 50% interest with Mary and a 50%  CP interest with John and Joan?
