Chap.  727.         AN  ACT  EQUALIZING THE RIGHTS OF HUSBAND
AND WIFE  IN  PROPERTY HELD AS TENANTS BY THE ENTIRETY.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows:
Chapter 209 of the General Laws is hereby amended by striking out section 1, as most recently amended by section 14 of chapter 423 of the acts of 1971, and inserting in place thereof the following section :-
Section 1.    The  real  and  personal  property  of any  person shall,   upon  marriage,   remain  the  separate  property  of such person,  and a married person may receive,  receipt for,  hold, manage and dispose of property, real and personal, in the same manner as if such person were sole.    A husband and wife shall be equally entitled to the rents, products, income or profits and to the control,  management and possession of property held by them as tenants by the entirety.
The interest of a debtor spouse in property held as tenants by the entirety shall not be subject to seizure or execution by a creditor of such debtor spouse so long as such property is the principal residence of the nondebtor spouse; provided, however, both spouses shall be liable jointly or severally for debts incurred on account of necessaries furnished to either spouse or to a member of their family.
Approved November 13,  1979.
