Full question :

Ted and Janet were married and owned a piece of jungle property in a tenancy by the entirety. When Janet died, her will left of all her real property to T.J., their adult son. T.J. claims he is the sole owner of the jungle property. Ted objects and files a lawsuit for sole ownership of the jungle property.

Answer:

Ted will win

Explanation:

This is case of joint tenancy. Ted and Janet owned the property and had equal rights to it. Janet under this legal arrangement can not transfer ownership(whether by will or even inheritance) to another individual. And so Ted will win because he has rights of survivorship to the property under the Joint tenancy arrangement and he is the surviving spouse. Ted will get the title to the entire property.
