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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

You dont always need a lawyer to write a warranty deed. If no money is being exchanged, you can use a property deed service. If youre selling a property, however, its a smart move to contact a lawyer, escrow company, or title company.
