A decade ago, land and buildings were transferred to two sons as 'full owners' on folio. First son had a wife and children at the time and the second son has since married and now has children too. One son is now the farmer and other carries on with his own independent business within the confines of the buildings.
1. Does 'full owners' automatically mean 'joint tenancy' or could it mean 'tenants in common'? Please explain.
2. Where does a wife and family legally stand if her husband dies and the other brother is still living?? Could she go through the courts to resolve matters?
3. If one brother refuses to divide the land and building into two separate Folios before other brother passes away, what can the other brother do legally to force him to split the land etc.?
Thank you.
