∙ 14y agoThe only way you can lose your interest in the property is if you sign a deed. However, the co-owner can break the joint tenancy by conveying their interest out, using a straw deed, and then getting it back by deed. The tenancy will revert to a tenancy in common. That means if one person dies their interest passes to their heirs at law rather than to the surviving co-owner.

Are Joint Tenants with a right of survivorship the same as Tenants In Common?
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.
If two people OWN a building as joint tenants with right of survivorship and one dies intestate under what law does the other own the building?
Joint tenancy developed under English common law. In jurisdictions that are based on English common law a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship creates an estate in the survivor when one owner dies.

GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATIVE TO REAL PROPERTYChapter 184: Section 7. Creation of estate in common, joint tenancy or tenancy by the entiretySection 7. A conveyance or devise of land to two or more persons or to husband and wife, except a mortgage or a devise or conveyance in trust, shall create an estate in common and not in joint tenancy, unless it is expressed in such conveyance or devise that the grantees or devisees shall take jointly, or as joint tenants, or in joint tenancy, or to them and the survivor of them, or unless it manifestly appears from the tenor of the instrument that it was intended to create an estate in joint tenancy. A devise of land to a person and his spouse shall, if the instrument creating the devise expressly so states, vest in the devisees a tenancy by the entirety.A conveyance or devise of land to a person and his spouse which expressly states that the grantees or devisees shall take jointly, or as joint tenants, or in joint tenancy, or to them and the survivor of them shall create an estate in joint tenancy and not a tenancy by the entirety. In a conveyance or devise to three or more persons, words creating a joint tenancy shall be construed as applying to all of the grantees, or devisees, regardless of marital status, unless a contrary intent appears from the tenor of the instrument.A conveyance or devise of land to two persons as tenants by the entirety, who are not married to each other, shall create an estate in joint tenancy and not a tenancy in common.
Can a tenancy in common apply when the property is owned jointly?
The term "joint tenancy" should be reserved for a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship.

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.
