Brockett Farm Management Agent Lewistown Extension Office PROPERTY OWNERSHIP How should you own property and why are questions many people ask. Let’s look at some of the ways property can be owned by individuals. 1. Joint tenants of the entireties - jointly owned property between husband and wife. The survivor automatically gets the property. It can be used with any type of property. 2. Joint with rights of sur- College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University and director of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station at Ithaca, effective July 1. Scott succeeds Theodore L. Hullar who is now executive vice president at the University of California at Riverside. Hullar came to Cornell in 1979 as associate director of research and of the agricultural experiment station; he had been director of research and of the agricultural experiment station since 1981. As director of research, Scott will provide leadership in the development and administration of the overall research effort of the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. As director of the experiment station, he will serve as the chief executive officer in the administration of federal research grants and cooperative projects conducted in the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the New York State College of Human Ecology, and the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine, all at Cornell. A native of Mead, Washington, Scott holds a B.S. degree(l9sB) from Washington State University and a Ph.D. degree(l962) from Cornell. vivorship - jointly owned property between people other than husband and wife where it is desired that the survivor receive the property 3. Joint as tenants in common - jointly owned property with each party owning a share of the property. Example; Bill Brown and Joe Green own a house as tenants in common. Bill can sell or will or gift his share without Joe’s approval unless they have a prior agreement otherwise. The shares are as if they were owned in dividually. This method of ownership can be for husband and wife as well as for other people. 4. Individual - anyone can own this way. 5. Uniform Gift to Minors Act - Custodial account-owner is a person under the age of 21. The custodian can be any adult. In come of the property goes to the minor if the minor’s Social Security number is the one listed. JOINT TENANCY BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE Advantage - There will be no PA inheritance of Federal estate tax on the estate of the first spouse to die. The surviving spouse will automatically get the property with no probate and nominal fees. The surviving spouse can continue the business as is with no need to account to anyone. Disadvantage - Property owned like this can not be willed by the first spouse to die. Thus it could not be used to fund a by-pass or non marital trust (to escape taxes upon the death of the second spouse). The first spouse to die has no legal say over the disposal of this property. Suggestion - Be careful that you understand the full implication of this type of ownership. Personaly, I would want all of my farm real estate and my house to be owned in this way. Owned any other way will probably result in extra taxes or extra costs for a trust or reduced flexibility in operating the farm business.
