In this podcast, Dannielle Young delves into the critical differences and implications of two forms of property ownership: Tenants in Common and Joint Tenants, especially in the context of Family Law Separations.
Key Differences and Implications
Tenants in Common:
- Ownership Shares: Allows for separate shares in property.
- Separate Interest: Each owner has an individual interest in the property.
- Survivorship: Does not have rights of survivorship; ownership can be passed through a will.
Joint Tenants:
