• Joint tenancy: a way to take title when property is jointly owned which provides that if one owner dies, the other joint tenant(s) take the deceased person’s share as their own. Joint tenancy title transfers take place outside of probate court, and title transfers immediately upon death (although paperwork may need to be filed to memorialize this transfer on the land records).
