1. What was the nature of the interest that Clayton transferred to his daughter, Marion Watkins?
2. Why didn’t Bernis become the severalty owner of the Somerset property upon Clayton’s death?
3. How was it possible for Clayton to create a joint tenancy in the property, with himself and his son Bernis as joint tenants?

Schelb, Associate Justice
The issue.is whether the unilateral transfer by one of two joint tenants of his interest to a third party, without the consent of the other joint tenant, converts the joint tenancy into a tenancy in common. We hold that it does.
