Opinion by JUDGE WEBB
¶ 1 This estate case concerns the interests of three sisters-Edrie Jeanne Hostetler (Jeanne), Florence Marie Ramstetter (Marie), and Karol Lue Ramstetter (Karol)-in a 500-acre tract located in Jefferson County (Ranch).1 Their late mother, Louise F. Ramstetter (Louise), devised the Ranch to them "in equal shares to be held as joint tenants." Their dispute arose from the admitted uncertainty of the attorney who drafted the will and-as found by the trial court-the uncertainty of the devisees over how a joint tenancy created by will could be severed.
¶ 2 Marie and Karol appeal:
