Estates - Joint Tenancy Survivorship

. McTavish v. Reed

In McTavish v. Reed (Ont CA, 2021) the Court of Appeal set out some basics of estate law:
[15] The right of survivorship applies only to interests in property held in a joint tenancy: Hansen Estate v. Hansen, 2012 ONCA 112, 109 O.R. (3d) 241, at paras. 30-31. Section 2(1) of the Estate Administration Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E. 22, provides that real or personal property, vested in a person without a right in any other person to take by survivorship, devolves to the person’s personal representative on his/her death to be administered as part of the estate.
