Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
No special protection
A is incorrect as it claims 'no special protection,' which directly contradicts the fundamental purpose of tenancy by the entireties, which is to provide significant creditor protection unavailable in other ownership forms.

Tax benefits only
C is incorrect because while tax benefits might exist, they are not the defining characteristic of tenancy by the entireties. The primary purpose is creditor protection, not tax advantages.
Automatic transfer to children
D is incorrect because tenancy by the entireties does not automatically transfer to children. Property would pass according to the will or intestacy laws of the deceased spouse, not directly to children.
