I wonder if these brothers have a 'common' understanding of property law. Ba-dum-tss!

Wait, so these brothers are sharing more than just a last name? Talk about a sibling rivalry...

I'm going to have to disagree with the previous candidates. I think C is the correct answer. A general partnership that owns real property would be considered a tenancy in common.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with B since it specifically mentions 'undivided interests' which is a key characteristic of a tenancy in common.

D looks like the right answer to me. The fact that the survivor will own the entire property upon the death of one brother suggests a joint tenancy, not a tenancy in common.

I think B is the correct answer. Tenancy in common implies that each owner has an undivided interest in the property that they can independently convey or devise.
