A JTWROS is a variant of the co-ownership that gives co-owners the right to live. It means that if one owner dies, his shareholding will be passed down to the remaining owners.
Joint owned property is any property held in the name of two or more parties, like husband and wife, or business partners, friends, or family members. The risks of joint owned property are the potential for financial issues with partial ownership of a property, like one party wanting to sell their share.
