JACKSON V. O'CONNELL
23 Ill.2d 52, 177 N.E.2d 194 (1961)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action for partition. Appealed. Jackson (P) appealed a
decree, which partitioned property subject to a joint tenancy and a tenancy in common.
FACTS: The land at issue was conveyed to three sisters, Nellie, Anna and Katherine (D),
as joint tenants. Nellie conveyed her interest in the property to Anna by quitclaim deed. In
her will, Anna devised her interest in the property to four nieces (P). P sued to partition
the property, arguing that Nellie's conveyance to Anna severed the joint tenancy, and
established Anna and Katherine as tenants in common in the property. D counterclaimed that
the conveyance severed the joint tenancy only so far as Nellie's interest: Anna and
Katherine remained joint tenants as to the remaining two-thirds of the property. The lower
court found in D's favor. P appealed.
