Joint tenancy is the ownership of property by two or more persons who hold identical interests in the property. They received the property by gift, purchase or inheritance at the same time and by the same conveyance; they received identical interests and have the same right of possession (four unities). A tenancy in common occurs when any of the four unities is not present. A tenancy in common will never have the benefit of a right of survivorship.
