View source for Does Filing Bankruptcy Sever Joint Tenancy?

As discussed in this [https://mckinneylaw.iu.edu/ilr/pdf/vol47p585.pdf Law Review Article], there is a split of cases as to whether the act of filing bankruptcy  by only one of the joint tenants automatically severs a joint tenancy.   Thereby vesting a 1/2 interest in the bankruptcy estate.  

There seems to be less question (and no desire for title insurers to test ) as to whether a bankruptcy court or act of the trustee imbued with the control of the bankruptcy estate ''may'' sever the joint tenancy.

A number of states have adopted statutes providing that filing bankruptcy does not sever a joint tenancy.
