Answer to Question 1

The joint tenancy was severed with Harriett's conveying her share to herself and Jeff. Since Harriett did not comply with the unities requirements for creating a joint tenancy, she and Jeff are tenants in common. Jeff owns 1/4 and Harriett owns 1/4. Now, if Joan left all of her property to Harriett, then Harriett would own 3/4 of the ranch as a tenant in common.
