In Joint Tenancy in Virginia, all owners must control equal shares of the property. This is as opposed to Tenants in Common, where two people may own 50% each, or four people own 25% each, or some other portion of the whole.
If two tenant in common co-owners want to make themselves joint tenants, then they can collectively convey their interests to themselves in a deed. This works because, together, they own the whole property.
How to apply Fill in a new or updated trust deed - a conveyancer can help you do this. Download and fill in the form to cancel a restriction, if one has been registered. Prepare any supporting documents you need to include. Send the form and documents to HM Land Registrys Citizen Centre. Theres no fee.
While most married couples opt for joint tenancy due to its straightforward inheritance rules, tenancy in common can offer greater flexibility, especially for older couples concerned about estate planning and bequests.
A property being held in joint tenancy can be converted to a tenancy-in-common. However, in severing a joint tenancy you can only convert it to a tenancy-in-common if the shares are equally divided.

Change from tenants in common to joint tenants You need the agreement of all the other joint owners to change from being tenants in common to joint tenants. A solicitor, conveyancer or legal executive can help you check what type of joint ownership you have if youre unsure.
If your co-owner is married, there is a risk of the property being subject to divorce proceedings. With something like a bank account, there is the risk that the co-owner could go on a spending spree and drain the account. In some situations, creating a joint ownership can also create gift tax or income tax problems.
