Q: With joint tenancy with survivorship. One lives in house. Does other have right to say who can visit?
Mother helped daughter buy house. Has Joint Tenacy with survivor ship. Daughter lives and pays for the house as well as maintains it. Does the mother have the right to tell daughter that her boyfriends cant be there? Can mother who does not live there file trespassing?
A: Your question is a bit confusing, but it sounds as though the person who lives in the house is also at least part owner of it. If that is correct, then that person also has say over who can be in the home. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
