One tenant who takes part in another tenants tenancy.
The tenancy in common legislation in California does not grant survivorship rights to the remaining owners of the tenants should one of them die. Each tenant can posses the entire property.
A conveyance by one joint tenant breaks the survivorship tenancy and the property is held as tenants in common.
If you want the property to pass to the co-owner automatically if one owner dies then you should take title as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.a) Joint Tenants, with rights of survivorship (the title automatically passes to the survivor if one dies per above). Joint tenants do have a right of survivorship, but a joint tenant may sell or give away her interest in the property. If a joint tenant sells her interest in a joint tenancy, the tenancy becomes a tenancy in common, and no tenant has a right of survivorshipb) Tenants in Common: All tenants in common hold an individual, undivided ownership interest in the property. This means that each party has the right to alienate, or transfer the ownership of, his/her ownership interest. Tenants in common do not have a right of survivorship. In a tenancy in common, persons may sell or give away their ownership interest.
Joint tenancy is actually a term involving ownership of property. The two most common legal forms of property ownership involving two or more people are as "joint tenants" or as "tenants in common." Spouses of one another generally take title as joint tenants, because on the death of a joint tenant the surviving joint tenant automatically becomes the owner of the property. If they had been tenants in common, the deceased person's share would have formed part of the deceased person's estate, which might not have been left to the surviving tenant in common.
In the UK:You need to look for the phrase, "RESTRICTION: No disposition by a sole proprietor of the registered estate . . . ." This will appear under the sub heading Title Absolute which can be found under the main heading "Proprietorship Register". If this phrase is missing then it will be jointly ownedIf the words "tenants in common" do not appear it is presumed to be a joint tenant arrangement.In the USGenerally, the default tenancy (when no tenancy is recited) is tenancy in common. However, there are many variations from state to state. The default tenancy for married grantees is joint tenancy in some states. In my state the tenancy will be considered a tenancy in common in any deed if no tenancy is recited. You need to check your state laws.

No they are different types of real property co-ownership. Tenancy in common is a type of co-ownership where two or more people ("tenants in common") own the property. It is the default tenancy in many jurisdictions when the tenancy is not stated in a deed with multiple grantees. Tenants in Common:Can own the property in equal or unequal sharesHave the right to the use and possession of the whole of the propertyPass on their share of the property to their heirs when they dieIn a joint tenancy the desire to create a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship must be so stated in the deed. The interest of any deceased joint tenant passes automatically to the surviving joint tenants. A joint tenancy is created only if the following four conditions, called the Four Unities, are met:Time- All the tenants acquired their interest at the same time.Title- All the tenants have the same title.Interest- All the tenants have an equal share.Possession- All tenants must have an equal right to possess the property.
In that case the joint tenancy is dissolved and the new half-owner is a tenant in common along with the remaining original owner.
tenants by the entirety
The term "joint tenancy" should be reserved for a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. Although many sources refer to tenants in common as a form of joint ownership that is a misuse of the term and is misleading. Joint tenancy and tenancy in common are properly referred to as different forms of co-ownership or concurrent ownership.If two people acquired the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies their interest automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant and the property bypasses probate. A properly drafted joint tenancy cannot be changed as to the survivorship rights of the co-owner when one owner dies. A joint owner cannot leave their interest in the property by their will to any other person.A co-owner who owns property as a joint tenant can break that tenancy and convert it to a tenancy-in-common during life by different methods in different states. In some states a statement can be recorded in the land records declaring the co-owner wants to dissolve the joint tenancy. In other states the co-owner must convey their interest to a straw and the straw conveys it back free of the joint tenancy. A joint tenant can convey their interest to another person during life and the result will be a tenancy in common.When two people own property as tenants-in-common, when one dies their half interest will pass to their heirs by their will or by the state laws of intestacy if there is no will.
No. The tenant must make a will.
