Dopey question, I know, but does "for their joint lives" mean the same thing as joint tenants?  In Mass it would be A&B, husband and wife, joint tenants  & the remainder would be superfluous if the intent was to vest title in the surviving spouse.  If, however, they intended to hold title as tenants in common for the length of their joint lives, with remaindership that would be a horse of a different color.
