Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving joint tenancy and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. What should the licensee understand? (Item 65)
Answer choices
- A. Identify survivorship concepts and required unity elements at a high exam level in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
Correct Answer
A. Identify survivorship concepts and required unity elements at a high exam level in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because joint tenancy requires candidates to identify survivorship concepts and required unity elements at a high exam level. The Tennessee reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
