SABERS, Justice
(concurring in result).
[¶ 21.] I concur in result because both of these appeals could have been avoided if Cheryl and her attorney had simply brought on an order to show cause to obtain the consent of the trial court to terminate the joint tenancies. There was ample time before her health deteriorated.
[¶ 22.] I agree with the admonition of the majority opinion (at paragraph 15) that “the best procedure [by far] is for a party to seek consent from the other spouse or court permission before attempting any [such] conveyance,” but it should be the rule for the future, not simply an admonition.
