Joint Tenancy
A Joint Tenancy agreement is when all the joint owners have equal interests in the property. The interest or share of each owner passes on their death by survivorship to the remaining owner(s), in equal shares. Each owner can break up the joint tenancy and in doing so the owners then hold the joint asset as tenants in common.
