1 answer:

4 0

Answer & Explanation: Joint tenancy <em>differs</em> from tenancy in common when there is a death or when one owner wants to sell their share.

Tenants in common: are able to individually sell their ownership in the property. That means that owner A could sell his 50-percent interest while owner B retains her half. The same holds true for inheritances. If owner A passes away, his ownership rights are inherited by his heirs, while owner B would continue to own her portion of the property.

Therefore a tenancy in common can lead to some sticky situations where co-owners of a property don't know each other well or at all.

Whereas in a Joint tenancy when a joint tenant dies the other remaining joint tenants get the decease tenants's interest (eg. ownership) in the property. Also, a joint tenancy allow owners to sell their interests. If one owner sells, the tenancy is converted to a tenancy in common.

What are some possible negative issues with the M'Naghter Rule? Select all that apply.

koban [17]

Answer:

A. Fails to distinguish between violent defendants and one that no longer pose a danger to society.

C. Fails to differentiate between mental illness that are temporary or lifelong conditions.

Explanation:

M'Naghten Rule is an insanity defense used by defendant's attorney to plead defendant not guilty of crime due to mental conditions suffered during the time crime committed.

M'Naghten Rule states that a defendant will be pleaded not guilty only under conditions when it will be proved that the mental condition of defendant was not right at the time when crime was committed and that he/she was not able to discern his/her actions as right or wrong.

The criticism received to the M'Naghten rule is that it fails to distinguish between defendants who pose threat to the society and those who do not pose threat any longer. Another criticism is that it fails to distinguish between mental illness that are temporary or conditions which are lifelong.

Therefore, option A and C are correct.
