Tenancy By Entirety (TBE)
At The MediLaw Firm, we understand that navigating property ownership is a significant aspect of your legal journey. For married couples, Tenancy By Entirety (TBE) stands as a powerful legal framework that provides unique advantages and protections. Allow us to guide you through the intricacies of TBE, unlocking its potential for your real estate assets.
Unique Characteristics and Protections:
Creditor Protection: One of the distinctive features of TBE is its creditor protection. In the event that one spouse incurs individual debts, the property held under TBE is typically shielded from the creditors of that specific spouse. Creditors generally cannot seize the property to satisfy the individual debts of one spouse.
Survivorship Rights: In the unfortunate event of the passing of one spouse, the surviving spouse automatically inherits the full ownership of the property without the need for probate. This streamlined transfer of ownership is a valuable benefit that simplifies the inheritance process.
Why Choose TBE?
Marital Unity: TBE is designed to reinforce the unity of marriage by providing spouses with a distinct form of joint ownership tailored to their unique legal and financial relationship.
Asset Protection: The creditor protection aspect of TBE can be particularly appealing, providing an added layer of security for your real estate assets.
Simplified Inheritance: The automatic transfer of ownership to the surviving spouse simplifies the inheritance process, potentially minimizing legal complexities during challenging times.
