More details to this question:
Does wording "husband and wife" act as acknowledgement that the property is owned as tenants by the entirety with right of survivorship? Deed from 14 years ago conveys property to husband and wife, but does not include language "as tenants by the entirety with right of survivorship".

No. In Virginia, there is no presumption so if there are no words indicating survivorship, title is taken as tenants in common.
