subject to registration may be held by two or more coowners as
follows:
(a) A manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck
camper, or floating home may be registered in the names of two or
more persons as joint tenants. Upon the death of a joint tenant, the
interest of the decedent shall pass to the survivor or survivors. The
signature of each joint tenant or survivor or survivors, as the case
may be, shall be required to transfer or encumber the title to the
manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or
floating home.
(b) A manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck
camper, or floating home may be registered in the names of two or
more persons as tenants in common. If the names of the tenants in
common are separated by the word "and", each tenant in common may
transfer his or her individual interest in the manufactured home,
mobilehome, commerical coach, truck camper, or floating home without
the signature of the other tenant or tenants in common. However, the
signature of each tenant in common shall be required to transfer full
interest in the title to a new registered owner. If the names of the
tenants in common are separated by the word "or", any one of the
tenants in common may transfer full interest in the title to the
manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or
floating home to a new registered owner without the signature of the
other tenant or tenants in common. The signature of each tenant in
common is required in all cases to encumber the title to the
manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or
floating home.
(c) A manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck
camper, or floating home may be registered as community property in
the names of a husband and wife. The signature of each spouse shall
be required to transfer or encumber the title to the manufactured
home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home.
(d) All manufactured homes, mobilehomes, commercial coaches, truck
campers, and floating homes registered, on or before January 1,
1985, in the names of two or more persons as tenants in common, as
provided in subdivision (b), shall be considered to be the same as if
the names of the tenants in common were separated by the word "or,"
as provided in subdivision (b).
