Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tenancy in common allows for each owner to have an undivided interest in the property and the ability to pass on their interest to their heirs or designated beneficiaries through a will or trust. In this case, Martin was able to leave his interest in the shared property to his son through his will, which is allowed under a tenancy in common. Joint tenancy and tenancy by the entirety typically have rights of survivorship, meaning that when one tenant dies, their interest automatically passes to the other tenant(s) and cannot be willed to someone else. Community property is a form of ownership that is only recognized in certain states and typically applies to property acquired during a marriage.
