What is the survivorship rule for joint tenants?
Joint tenants have an equal share in the ownership of an asset. If a joint tenant dies, the other tenant (or tenants) has a right of survivorship. The deceased tenants interest is not an asset of their estate.
Is joint tenants the same as joint ownership?

Can legal title only be held as joint tenants?
The legal title must and will always be held as joint tenants. This means that on the death of tenants in common where only one survivor remains, although the survivor does not acquire the equity share left by the deceased, he does become the sole owner of the legal estate.
What are the disadvantages of joint tenancy with right of survivorship?
