Tenants in common or joint tenants – How should we decide?
Many co-owners elect to hold the property as “joint tenants” if they live together and have no children from a previous relationship. If one of them were to die their interest in the property would pass automatically to the survivor who would then own the property outright. With tenants in common each party has a defined share in the property, which, if not specified, will be assumed to be 50/50, with their respective shares passing through their Wills.
