Question

Joint Heirs to a property are called __________
A) Co- heirs
B) Coparceners
C) Successors
D) Joint owners

Answer 1

Hint: An heir is a person who is legitimately entitled to inherit a portion or more of another person's estate when that person dies intestate, which means that the deceased person did not have a valid final will and testament during his or her lifetime. The heir receives property according to the rules of the state where the property is probated in this case.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the given options
A) Co- heirs- An heir who shares an inheritance with one or more other persons is known as a joint heir. If the seller has taken no chance, the selling of successive rights from one successor to his coheir is not liable to rescission.
B) Coparceners- Coparceners are the joint heirs to a farm. They have equal rights and responsibilities when it comes to the land. The coparceners have unity of ownership and culture of interest in shared family property, and they jointly inherit it.
C) Successors- It is called to a person or a thing that succeeds in others.
D) Joint owners- A group of two or more individuals or organizations that jointly own something.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’ i.e. Coparceners.

Note:
i) There are different types of heirs like Adoptive heir, collateral heir, presumptive heir and apparent heir. If the heirs do not get rights to personal property right away, their stake in the estate does.
ii) The heirs have a vested legal right, title, or mortgage in the personal property, subject to creditors' interests as well as the administration's costs and expenses.
