In the context of joint tenancy, typically four unities are required for its valid creation: Unity of Possession, Unity of Interest, Unity of Time, and Unity of Title, collectively referred to as the 'four unities' in property law. However, one example of a 'unity' that is not required is the Unity of Marriage.

Spouses or partners do not usually die at the same time and any changes to a joint will need the agreement of both partners. So, if 1 of you dies 1st, then the survivor is simply unable to make any changes to that will.
