Richard J. Smith, Miller & Smith, Gulfport, for Appellee.

Before PRATHER, P.J., and BANKS and SMITH, JJ.

PRATHER, Presiding Justice, for the Court:

INTRODUCTION

The issue in this case is whether a testatrix may disregard the survivorship provision of a validly created joint tenancy in real property and, by will, provide for her interest in the joint tenancy to pass on her death to a party other than her co-tenant. This Court answers this question in the negative, and accordingly affirms the judgment of the trial court.
