Joint Tenancy

One of the two main ways in which two or more persons may hold land in co-ownership (the other being a tenancy in common). The principal features which distinguish a joint tenancy are the 'four unities' (the unities of time, title, interest and possession) and the right of survivorship, under which the surviving joint tenant(s) is (are) solely entitled to the land upon the death of the other joint tenant.

Joint Tenants

Two or more people holding land under a joint tenancy. Each joint tenant is entitled to the use, possession, and enjoyment of the whole of the land, subject to the rights of the other joint tenants.

to engage the services of a solicitor or registered conveyancer, we always recommend engaging an industry professional to seek representation due to the complex legal nature of land transactions / dealings, subdivisions and boundary realignments.
