Answer by  WadeLaw (37)

Joint tenancy is a type of ownership in which more than one person co-owns an undivided (cannot be divisible by any physical means) interest in a property. In some states, joint tenancy comes with a right of survivorship in which the deceased person's interest automatically passed the surviving co-owner. In other states, this right must be in writing.

Joint tenancy is a form of property ownership reserved solely for married couples. In this situation, neither spouse can sell their share of the property without the consent of the other and the right of survivorship is attached to the property, meaning that if one spouse dies, the other automatically takes full ownership.

A joint tenancy is simply where two or more people own a single piece of property. Each person has an undivided share of the whole, meaning they each have a right to the property while they are alive. It is common for husbands and wives to have a joint tenancy on their home.
