Under New Hampshire law, which form of co-ownership automatically includes the right of survivorship without any additional language required in the deed?

Correct Answer

C) Tenancy by the entirety

In New Hampshire, a conveyance to a husband and wife creates a tenancy by the entirety by default, meaning the survivorship right is inherent without needing express language in the deed.

Tenancy in common

Tenancy by the entirety
