tenancy in personal property; creation. There shall be a form of co-ownership of personal
property known as joint tenancy. A joint tenancy shall have the incidents of
survivorship and severability as at common law. A joint tenancy may be created

be a joint tenancy. It may be created by a transfer or bequest from a sole
owner to others, or to the sole owner and others; or from tenants in common or
joint tenants to others, or to themselves or some of them, or to themselves or

tenancy shall not derogate from the rights of creditors. [Formerly 91.355; 2015
