Is survivorship the same as husband and wife in a deed?
No. Survivorship means that if one owner dies the other automatically becomes the sole owner of the property. The two do not need to be married. State laws vary. In some jurisdictions husbands and wives are automatically considered joint tenants when they purchase real property. In other states the tenancy must be declared in the deed. Simply stating "as joint tenants" creates a survivorship in some jurisdictions. In others the words, "as joint tenants with the right of survivorship" must be used.

Community Property With Right of Survivorship
How do you know if you have right of survivorship on a property you own with a non-spouse?
A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.
