In the absence of any statement to the contrary, it is presumed you hold in equal shares. Alternatively, it may have been specified what share of the property belongs to each owner, e.g. 70/30.

If you would like to share things unequally; if you want to ensure that if you break up, you can make a relatively clean and painless exit; if you want to leave your share to other beneficiaries after your death; or, if you want to protect your share of the value in your home from being swallowed up by your partners

Where a property is owned as joint tenants, when one of the owners die the property automatically pass to the surviving owner, regardless of what the Will of the deceased owner says. This is known as a 'right of survivorship'. This is the most common way a property is owned by husband and wife or civil partners.
