To do this, you must create a new deed that conveys an interest in the property to this other person. Technically, anyone can make up a new deed, but we strongly advise you to hire a lawyer to do it.
Unlike joint tenancy, where each owner has an equal share, tenancy in common allows for specific parts or percentages of the property to be owned by each tenant. This type of ownership is often seen in situations where family members or business partners want to maintain separate shares.
Ownership as tenants in common permits owners to jointly own property, but each person's interest may be sold or transferred or passed through inheritance laws.
Joint tenancy is most common among married couples because it helps property owners avoid probate. Without joint tenancy, a spouse would have to wait for their partner's Last Will to go through a legal review process—which can take months or even years.
One of the critical differences between a tenancy in common and a joint tenancy is that a joint tenancy has survivorship rights, but a tenancy in common does not. When one tenant in common dies, his or her interest passes to heirs. In contrast, if a joint tenant dies, the interest passes to the other joint tenants.
By jointly owning property, you may find yourself party to a lawsuit if your co-owner is sued or the asset could be lost to a creditor of your co-owner. If your co-owner becomes incapacitated, you could find yourself “owning” the property with the co-owner's guardian or the courts.
