Question

Amy and Lance are newlyweds. This is Lance's second marriage. Because of problems that occurred before his divorce (his ex-wife took all the money out of their joint accounts), he is more cautious than most about setting up joint accounts. Which type of account would you recommend for Amy and Lance? a. Joint tenancy account with right of survivorship b. Trustee account c. Tenancy by the entirety d. Tenancy in common

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Tenancy by the entirety

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the best account recommendation would be a Tenancy by the entirety. This is an account in which each spouse in a marriage has an equal and undivided interest in the account and approval from both parties is needed to empty out the account.
