A husband and wife own Lot A as joint tenants and Lot B as tenants-in-common. The husband's will reads: "I leave Lot A to my son John and Lot B to my daughter Mary." Who takes what when the husband dies?
A) Mary will get her father's interest in Lot B, but John will get no interest in Lot A.
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.
