In New Jersey, a tenancy by the entirety is a form of joint ownership available only to married couples. If the property deed is not in the wife's name, she cannot claim a tenancy by the entirety unless the property was acquired during the marriage and the deed specifies this form of ownership. Additionally, if the will does not name her as a beneficiary, she may not have any claims to the property upon her spouse's death, unless she can assert rights under state law regarding spousal rights or omitted spouse claims. Therefore, her rights will depend on the specifics of the property ownership and applicable laws.
