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).

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.
