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.
