  1. Either tenant is permitted to place trade orders in the account independently.Cevap
  2. B

  3. Any check or cash disbursement drawn from the account must be payable to all co-owners jointly.Cevap
  4. D
    The co-owners must hold equal percentage interests in the account assets.

Cevap

The correct statements are that either tenant may place orders independently and that disbursements must be made payable to all co-owners jointly.
In a Tenants in Common (TIC) account, any individual tenant is authorized to place buy or sell orders independently. However, to safeguard all owners, any check or security disbursement must be made payable to all joint owners named on the account. Additionally, TIC accounts allow unequal ownership fractions, and upon a tenant's death, their share transfers to their estate rather than the surviving owner.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the trading authority rules for joint brokerage accounts.
Confirm that any registered co-owner of a joint account (JTWROS or TIC) has full authority to enter orders independently.
Brokerage regulations allow individual trading access for joint owners to facilitate market execution.
2
Identify the rules for disbursements in joint accounts.
Confirm that checks and payments drawn from the account must be made in the joint names of all owners.
Issuing checks jointly prevents unauthorized removal of funds by one co-owner without the knowledge of the others.
3
Evaluate survivorship and ownership share rules for Tenants in Common (TIC).
Determine that TIC accounts allow unequal ownership percentages and that a deceased owner's share passes to their estate, not the survivor.
Automatic transfer to surviving owners is a feature of JTWROS, whereas TIC preserves estate rights.
