Joint Tenancy

This is simply a type of a concurrent estate. This is the process by which the cotenants have acquired four unities of title. That is the: the unity of Time, the unity of Title, the Unity of Interest and the Unity of Possession. The cotenants must received these unities from the same transferor(s) and each joint tenant is has equal right to the primary benefit of a joint tenancy such as the right of survivorship. It is the property that belongs to two or more people, even if married or unmarried.
