Joint tenants (JT), or joint tenants with rights of survivorship (JTWROS), are the forms of ownership most commonly used by married couples. In general this means that both parties own 100% of the property and there is no divided interest as there is with TIC.

Enter all the names of the persons you want to be owners of the property as the grantees. Attach the legal description of the property from the prior deed.
