Joint tenancy in fee simple with survivorship.

Mere omission of word “heirs” in grant in deed executed in 1948 held not sufficient to defeat otherwise clearly expressed intent to create fee, nor arbitrarily to reduce it to life estate. 149 C. 137. Joint tenant wife was entitled to exoneration of mortgage made by her husband on property he first owned as sole owner and later transferred to them jointly; his estate was liable for all the mortgage as the debt was incurred solely by the decedent. 158 C. 225. Cited. Id., 229; 204 C. 502. Cited. 32 CS 227. Although a 1956 instrument of conveyance contained no reference to the creation of a joint tenancy, it did contain some reference to survivorship; consequently, by virtue of statute, the court will hold that a joint tenancy was created. 3 Conn. Cir. Ct. 664, 668.
