Question

Humberto called his friend John and asked him to quickly come over because Humberto had suffered a stroke and might be dying. Humberto advised John that he wanted to give John his gold watch. Humberto also wrote out a will that left his share in Blackacre to John. Blackacre was the marital home of Humberto and Connie, who owned the home as tenants by the entirety. Humberto died before John arrived. John claims the watch and a share in the home. Connie contests both matters. Please state your answers with supporting analysis.

Answer 1

As Humberto was the sole owner of the Gold watch, he has the right to claim it, Connie can't interfere in it.

Although as the Blackacre was owned as tenants by the entirety, one spouse can't transfer it alone, permission of both the spouse is needed. So John can't claim it.

Hope this meets your purpose.
