Supreme Court of Florida
Monira C. Knapp v. Wm. L. Fredricksen
October 24, 1941148 Fla. 311
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the circuit court's order denying the petition to intervene and upheld the foreclosure decree. The Court held that a joint deed to husband and wife creates a tenancy by the entireties, so title passed to the surviving spouse and not to the heirs, and that the decree adjudicated only foreclosure without any liability to the estate.
