B) The son, John, gets Lot A and daughter Mary gets Lot B, just as their father wished and designated in his will.
C) Mary will get all of Lot B but John will not get Lot A because it was co-owned with the mother in joint-tenancy, so the mother takes Lot A as the surviving joint tenant.
D) Mary will get her father's interest in Lot B, but John will only get a life tenancy in Lot A.
E) John will get Lot A but Mary will not get Lot B because it was co-owned with the mother as tenants-in-common, so the mother takes Lot B as the other tenant-in-common.
