§ 55-9. Conveyance of estate or interest in property by grantor to himself and another.

Any person having an estate or interest in real or personal property may convey the same to himself or to himself and another or others, including to himself and his spouse as tenants by the entireties or otherwise, and the fact that one or more persons are both grantor or grantee or grantors and grantees in the same conveyance shall be no objection to the conveyance. The grantee or grantees in any such conveyance shall take title in like manner and the estate vested in them shall be the same as if the conveyance had been made by one or more persons who are not also grantee or grantees therein.

All such conveyances made prior to July 1, 1986, are validated notwithstanding defects in the form thereof which do not affect vested rights.
