Transfers that will trigger a reassessment: Change in Ownership: Purchases and non-primary residence transfers among friends or family.
As joint tenants, each person owns the whole of the property with the other. If one co-owner dies, their interest in the property automatically passes to the surviving co-owner(s), whether or not they have a will. As tenants in common, co-owners own specific shares of the property.
Joint tenancy is a way for two or more people to own property in equal shares so that when one of the joint tenants dies, the property can pass to the surviving joint tenant(s) without having to go through probate court.
However, the property may qualify for a reassessment exclusion, if one of the following conditions applies: The transfer of property between husband and wife. The transfer of property between registered domestic partners. The transfer of property between co-tenants. The transfer of property between parent and child.
