FAQ
To create a joint tenancy, the conveyance must at the same time, convey the same title, to the same interest in property, with the same right of equal possession. A conveyance that fails to convey all four ?unities? (time, title, interest, and possession) creates a tenancy in common, the default form of co-ownership.
Depending on the jurisdiction, the following phrases will create a joint tenancy: "As joint tenants" "As joint tenants with rights of survivorship" "As joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common" "As husband and wife" (unless otherwise stated).
When the property passes to the other upon the death of A or B, the real property is not reassessed. The exclusion also applies when only one joint tenant forms a revocable trust and the other (former) joint tenant dies.
Key Takeaways. Some of the main benefits of joint tenancy include avoiding probate courts, sharing responsibility, and maintaining continuity. The primary pitfalls are the need for agreement, the potential for assets to be frozen, and loss of control over the distribution of assets after death.
If an ?other than original transferor? joint tenant dies or transfers his interest then then whether there is a change in ownership depends on if an ?original transferor? joint tenant remains. So long as there is an original transferor there is no reassessment.
