More details to this question:
The now deceased party was a resident of NYS and died there. The Quit-Claim deed gave her interest in a MA condo (held as JTWROS with another for 10 years) to her brother (an attorney in NYS) and sister 5 days before death from cancer (Lung, liver, bone)
1 ANSWER
jtwros means joint tenants with rights of survivorship, meaning that the person who survives then owns the property. One can sever a joint tenancy by conveyance, thereby creating a tenancy in common. Get thee to a lawyer. If there was undue influence over the decedent's wishes or intent, etc.
