Which of the following statements about tenancy in common in Kentucky is NOT correct?

Correct Answer

D) Each co-owner's interest automatically passes to the surviving co-owners upon death.

Right of survivorship is a feature of joint tenancy and tenancy by the entirety.

Each co-owner may hold an unequal percentage of the ownership interest.
B
Each co-owner's interest passes to their heirs or devisees upon death.
C
Each co-owner has an undivided right to possess and use the entire property.
