Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland

Re: Tri-ownership and the rights of the surviving spouse

The title as held to the property is essential to your question. Essential is whether he holds an interest as a tenant in common or as a joint tenant.

Depending upon how he holds the property, his right of ownership may be passed by a last will and testament or other devise. Where such legal right exists and in order for the right of ownership to pass freely with a potential right of entry, specific matters need to be addressed within his will. Future interests in property may be transferrable and a right of survivorship can be preserved in the children. Re-titling of the property is another option.

Unfortunately your question invokes various legal matters and no specific answer can be provided.
