What is the burden of establishing a joint tenancy?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Gonzalez v. Superville (In re Estate of Velarde), A133760 (Cal. App. 2013):

We note at the outset California law does not favor joint tenancy. (Reiss v. Reiss (1941) 45 Cal.App.2d 740, 747.) The burden of establishing its existence is on the person claiming it. (Estate of Kann (1967) 253 Cal.App.2d 212, 219.)
