§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.
