FAQ
Understanding Transfer on Death While joint tenancy is a common form of co-ownership between two or more people, transfer on death is a process where the owner of an asset designates a beneficiary who will receive the asset upon the owner's death.
For joint ownership with right of survivorship or tenants by entirety accounts, the joint registration transfers account ownership upon the first death, usually directly to the surviving accountholder. TOD becomes effective for joint accounts if both owners pass away simultaneously.
North Carolina recognizes joint tenancy with right of survivorship as a common form of joint ownership for non-spouses.
This means that if one owner of the property dies, the other one will automatically own the property. A joint tenancy can be applied to real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, and other types of property in which each owner owns an equal share.
The majority of banks set up joint accounts as “Joint With Rights of Survivorship” (JWROS) by default. This type of account ownership generally states that upon the death of either of the owners, the assets will automatically transfer to the surviving owner.
However, the joint account holder also has full access to those funds during the individual's life," said Damaryan. “TODs ensure that the intended beneficiary does not have access to funds until the account owner's death." TOD accounts tend to be used by someone without significant wealth, said Chun.
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.
For example, if two unmarried partners make equal contributions toward purchasing a inium and they choose to hold title as joint tenants, the surviving joint tenant will automatically become the sole and separate owner of the inium after the first joint tenant dies.
This means that if one owner of the property dies, the other one will automatically own the property. A joint tenancy can be applied to real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, and other types of property in which each owner owns an equal share.
Instead, the deceased party's share of the account becomes part of their estate and would be subject to probate. Once the probate process is complete, the deceased member's share of the multi-party bank account would then pass to their designated beneficiaries.
