REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as CJ §
3-6A-01(c).

In paragraph (l)(ii) of this     subsection, the former

term "jointly" is deleted to   avoid excluding from the

statute property held by the    parties as tenants in
common.

Also in paragraph (l)(ii) of this subsection, the

phrase "1 or both" is substituted for the former

phrase "either or both" to conform to the language

used throughout this   subtitle.

The only other changes are in style.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that "family
home" is defined as "property in this State", but that
the definition of "family use personal property" does
not include a reference to the location of the
property.
