A Michigan appeals court has confirmed the validity of a survivorship deed that granted ownership of a house to Jessica Rae Harless. The ruling asserts that Shirley Ann Page’s 2012 deed established a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship. Despite Anita Lanctot’s challenge regarding the absence of the term ‘joint’ in the deed, the court affirmed that Page’s intent was unmistakably conveyed, ensuring Harless retains sole ownership of the property.
