    Joint Tenancy

    Explanation:

    Joint tenancy represents a legal contractual arrangement that involves two or more people who have agreed to own a single property sharing both obligations and rights equally.

    The terms of join tenancy is such that no one whether the partner or an inheritor of will is able to sell the property in future without the consent of other partners. Secondly, when a partner dies joint tenancy does not transfer assets to heirs instead it is vested in the surviving partner.

    It becomes that Bill did not name his wife as his beneficiary, hence Mike inherits the entire 342 acres of land after Bill's death.
