FAQ
As of 2022, Minnesota has two kinds of property ownership if there are multiple owners: joint tenancy and tenancy-in-common.
Joint tenants also own an undivided interest in property. The main difference between joint tenants and tenants-in-common is that, upon the death of a joint tenant, that co-owner's interests are extinguished and the surviving co-owner(s) receive the property.
Joint tenancy should be used with extreme caution. It can subject a co- owner to unnecessary taxes and liabili- ty for the other co-owner's debts. It can also deprive heirs of bequeathed prop- erty and, in California, leave the joint tenant without right of survivorship.
Joint tenants have equal property ownership, share profits and liabilities, and often have a right of survivorship. Tenants in common can have unequal shares, lack a right of survivorship, and can pass their share to chosen beneficiaries.
Tenants in common gives you more protections and you can specify in a deed of trust what you would want to happen in the event of relationship breakdown (eg if one of you has first dibs to buy the other out, or a time limit on doing so etc) which is definitely better to decide now whilst you still like each other!
In joint tenancy, the deed of trust establishes equal rights for all co-owners and includes a right of survivorship. On the other hand, in tenancy in common, the deed of trust clarifies that each co-owner has separate shares of the property with no right of survivorship.
Further tenancy in common allows parties to hold unequal shares of property interest. Joint tenancy requires each co-owner to hold equal shares of property. Further, co-owners must transfer the deed at the same time. In this sense, joint tenancy is rigid compared to tenancy in common.
As of 2022, Minnesota has two kinds of property ownership if there are multiple owners: joint tenancy and tenancy-in-common.
Community Property States. Minnesota is what is considered a “separate property” state and not a “community property” state. In a separate property state spouses own separately all earnings and acquisitions from earnings during the marriage, unless they agree to a joint form of ownership.
Equitable distribution of marital wealth Minnesota is an equitable distribution state. This does not necessarily mean a 50-50 settlement of everything. But the law presumes that all assets and debts acquired during the marriage will be divided equitably, including: Your house and other real estate.
