Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

I need to change the beneficiary deed on my property to my two sons. Do I use "and" "an/or" or "or". I want them to each be 50%/50% owners. Any help? Thanks, Sally

Sally, there really is more to it than that, and you don't provide any information that an attorney would need to give you competent advice. How old are your sons now?: Are they married? Or, is either of them married? Do either of them ave any children? What does the current Beneficiary Deed say? Why would you want to leave them with a situation in which they have equal ownership rights but may not agree upon what to do with the property? Sometimes it is best to think through all of the relevant issues before executing something that has far-reaching legal consequences such as a Beneficiary Deed. I would suggest that a consultation with an attorney would be a good idea.
