Re v. Re: Two Joint Tenants Can Cut Off the Third’s Right of Survivorship

In Re v. Re, the California Court of Appeal held that a mother and daughter who deeded their two-thirds of a joint tenancy to each other ended the son’s right of survivorship, even though the deeds were not recorded until after the mother died. The son’s partition was granted, but his share was one-third.
