New York Court of Appeals

Ellen Bertles, Respondent v. James Nunan, Appellant

April 17, 188392 N.Y. 152

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that a deed to husband and wife creates a tenancy by the entirety, not a tenancy in common, and that the Married Women's Acts of 1848‑1862 do not alter this common‑law rule.
