Joint tenancy is common because it's your standard 50/50 split of property ownership. This typically happens when a couple buys a home. But, it's not limited to just couples. Any amount of people can have a joint tenancy title.

So, what is joint tenancy with the right of survivorship? Joint tenancy with the right of survivorship is when the joint tenants will split the ownership of another person's shares when they die. For example, if there are three people who own equal shares of the property, but one of them dies, the remaining two people will absorb that person's ownership shares.

Tenancy in common is a bit different because it involves unequal shares of the property.

For example, in a tenancy in common title, you could have someone who owns 60% of the property, someone else who owns 30% of the property, and one more person who owns 10% of the property.

It's a property split between people who own unequal shares.
