How does a tenancy by the entirety differ from a joint tenancy?
In a TBE, both people have equal, 100% interest in the property. In a joint tenancy, all parties have an equal interest in the property, but it is not 100%. If two people share the joint tenancy, they both have 50% interest in the property. With TBE, the couple is seen as one entity.
