A law states that “The interests of the grantees holding property in joint tenancy with right of survivorship shall be deemed to be equal unless otherwise specified in the conveyance” (North Carolina g.s. § 41-2). This explains that when someone is under a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship and during that period if one of the owner dies, the other joint tenants get that owner’s portion in the property regardless of the deceased owner’s will or the rule of interstate succession (Lewis, 2011). In Mr. Barney’s case, one of his friends, Andy dies and his will showed interest of the property which is owned with three friends to his son, Opie. According to the law explained above, Opie is not entitled to become an owner or the partner of this property and therefore, Mr. Barney is not legally liable for the defaulted loan nor can the bank foreclose the property.

    The Homosexuality Of Barney Frank

    Barney Frank a former American politician and board member of New York, has served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts. He previously announced he was gay. This shocked many, but had no effect on his career. He was re-elected in Massachusetts with 70% of the votes. This reached a point when being gay was more acceptable than a politician. It is not surprising to be a gay politician anymore, especially in San Francisco. He supports Supervisor Scott Wiener; unfortunately, if he loses against Supervisor Jane Kim, it will be the first time that San Francisco hasn’t elected an LGBT representative.
