§58-1003.
   
   Where there is no sufficient evidence to establish that the two joint
   tenants or tenants by the entirety have died otherwise than
   simultaneously, the property so held shall be distributed one-half
   (1/2) as if one had survived and one-half (1/2) as if the other had
   survived. If there are more than two joint tenants and all of them
   have so died the property thus distributed shall be in the proportion
   that one bears to the whole number of joint tenants. The term "joint
   tenants" includes owners of property held under circumstances which
   entitled one or more to the whole of the property on the death of the
   other or others.
