A tenancy in common is the most usual form of ownership of property in a marriage.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most usual form of ownership of property in a marriage is joint tenancy, not tenancy in common. Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship, meaning that when one owner dies, their share of the property automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s). Tenancy in common does not include the right of survivorship and each owner has a separate and distinct share of the property that they can dispose of as they wish.
