Is it better to be joint tenants or tenants in common?

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.

Can convert joint tenancy to tenants in common?

What is the downside to joint tenancy?

Lack of control: Each joint tenant has equal rights, which means one party can force a sale or take out loans against the property. Unintended tax consequences: In California, joint tenancy can lead to unfavorable property tax reassessments or lost step-up in basis benefits.

Can you change ownership from tenants in common to joint tenants?

Why is it wise to avoid joint ownership?

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.
