Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
An investor is comparing two properties involving tenancy in common. Which statement best describes tenancy in common? (Item 4)
Answer choices
- A. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
- B. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- C. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
- D. Identify separate, inheritable ownership shares without survivorship rights.
Correct Answer
D. Identify separate, inheritable ownership shares without survivorship rights.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because tenancy in common requires candidates to identify separate, inheritable ownership shares without survivorship rights. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
