Commonly Asked Questions about Real Estate Joint Tenancy

Property held in joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, or community property with right of survivorship automatically passes to the survivor when one of the original owners dies. Real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and investments can all pass this way. No probate is necessary to transfer ownership of the property.
Key Takeaways: 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.
If a co-owner has outstanding debts, their creditors could seize an interest in your home or bank account. Relationship Issues. Holding an asset jointly can complicate a divorce or other relationship problems. If you have a jointly held bank account, your co-owner could withdraw all of the money without your consent.
Property that is jointly owned with a survivorship right will avoid probate. If one owner dies, title passes automatically to the remaining owner.
Problems With Joint Ownership 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-owners guardian or the courts.
Joint tenancy should be used with extreme caution. It can subject a co- owner to unnecessary taxes and liabili- ty for the other co-owners debts. It can also deprive heirs of bequeathed prop- erty and, in California, leave the joint tenant without right of survivorship.
