Does a tenant in common have a survivorship of the property?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Zeligs v. Janes, 2016 BCCA 280 (CanLII):
The interest of a tenant in common is different with respect to survivorship. Unlike that of a joint tenant, a tenant in common’s interest in property remains intact upon death and passes into his or her estate: Fuller v. Harper, 2010 BCCA 421 at para. 53.
