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. A) Ted will win because property owned in a tenancy by the entirety includes rights of survivorship for the surviving spouse. Ted will get the title to the entire property.

B) Ted will win only a one-half interest in the jungle property. T. J. will own the other one-half interest because Janet had the right to will her half of the property to anyone she chose.

C) Ted will lose and forfeit his entire interest in the whole property because a tenancy by the entirety means that one party owns the entire property.

D) None of the above.
