Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by These consolidated appeals arise from litigation concerning the
ownership of certain joint tenancy accounts. More specifically,
we are asked to determine the legal effect of the actions by one
joint tenant in causing additional names to be added to the
original joint tenancy accounts. Essentially, the trial court
held that the addition of more persons did not destroy the nature
of the joint tenancy ownership but made the accounts four-party
joint tenancy ownership rather than the original two-party joint
tenancy ownership. On appeal from such determination, the Court
of Appeals reversed the trial court, holding that the addition of
the two persons severed the original joint tenancies and thereby
converted the ownership interest of the original joint tenants
into that of tenancy in common, but that the added parties were
joint tenants with the original joint tenant who had added their
names. The matter is before us on petition for review. The Court of Appeals opinion herein is found at
12 Kan. App. 2d 571, 752 P.2d 690 (1988). The
facts underlying this litigation
