Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship Florida A joint tenancy with right of survivorship has all the same features of a joint tenancy with the additional feature that when one joint tenant passes away, his or her interest in the real property will automatically pass to the survivor joint tenants by operational law.
In Florida, a joint tenancy can be terminated in several ways, including through the sale of the property, divorce, death of a joint tenant, or mutual agreement between the tenants.
