Good luck with your studies. 

While we should all have an understanding of the types of ownership, we should always refer customers/clients to a real estate attorney for any recommendation regarding ownership and what is right for their needs.

Attorneys have the last word

1 real estate attorneys

2 title companies

3 real estate students who just completed principles 1 and principles 2

Be careful/wary of self-proclaimed experts.  They are "out there" and they are abundant.

Title companies and Attorneys

I may be, but I still send the clients to an attny for these talks.

Are there really any true experts?  

Real estate attorneys and title companies

Attorney would be first go to if you have money, second maybe escrow officer or lender - it's a legal question so agents generally don't like to tell the client what to do

I refer clients to work with their attorneys on this

RE attorneys.

real estate attorneys have expertise in forms of ownership, and that's who my team members refer their clients for everything related to contracts and explanations...

we're an attorney state...no title companies in MA.... all of our clients have an attorney from day 1....

Only professors/attorneys reach that height and focus because of repetition but one wonders...do they know how it hits the road? The dynamics? Use? Tax and legal consquences? Its a part of a complex gathering of parts

What is a "real estate form of ownership?" Sounds like something an attorney or finanacial planner would opine on.

Forms of ownership? That has consequences.

That means you need an attorney.

Real estate agent are experts has helping buyer and owners make purchases using the contracts the attorneys create.

I'm damn good BUT I'm not an attorney and I don't play one on AR either.

That is a very vague question. What does "considered" mean.. in other words who in this question is doing the "considering"? .. by who exactly?... the general public, the eyes of the law... this question could be answered in numerous ways depending on context.

If you are asking who the general public considers to be an expert, I suppose it would take an opinion poll... if you are asking what the "law" considers to be an expert you need to see how it is defined in the statues of the law.

Hopefully, your attorney is a local expert.

If clients have questions about the facets of different forms of ownership an attorney is their best resource.

I would say Attorneys that prepare them.

I wish you all the best with your real estate studies. 

Real estate attorneys know this.

Real estate agents understand these, but for the ownership which best suits the needs of a client, advise them to consult with their attorney.

In Oklahoma the title companies have attorneys for this.

Although you can gain an understanding of types of ownership, it is best to refer clients to a real estate attorney and their CPA to determine the proper form for a given set of circumstances. 

Your Pre License Instructor has done you a disservice by having the class ask us these type of questions. We are here to talk about Post Licensing activities !!!

When I see these terms I look at the people credentials and liceses. 

When it comes to legal questions, ask a lawyer. The one thing in real estate, dont practice law without a law license. 

I would refer to a good Real Estate attorney. Agents should not advise on legal matters

Good luck.
