Under Kentucky law, which form of co-ownership includes the right of survivorship and requires that all co-owners acquire their interests at the same time, through the same instrument, with equal shares?

Correct Answer

B) Joint tenancy

Joint tenancy requires the four unities: time, title, interest, and possession. All co-owners must acquire equal shares simultaneously through the same instrument, and the right of survivorship passes a deceased owner's share automatically to the surviving co-owners. Kentucky recognizes joint tenancy when clearly expressed in the deed.

Tenancy in common
