There are four forms of co-ownership for property. If you are planning on purchasing a home or inherited property with another, the property is owned as a tenancy in common, a joint tenancy, through community property or tenancy by the entirety. Tenancy by entirety is specific to married couples.
That phrase means nothing. It is a jumble of legal terms. A tenancy in common carries no rights of survivorship. A right of survivorship must be established by a joint tenancy or a tenancy by the entirety. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional.

Generally, and in Florida, a tenancy by the entirety is a special joint tenancy reserved for legally married people. They own the property with the unseverable common law right of survivorship. If one dies, the other automatically owns the property. With a general joint tenancy with the right of survivorship the tenancy can be broken by one of the parties and it will transform into a tenancy in common. The right of survivorship within a tenancy by the entirety cannot be severed by one of the parties. One may not sue the other to Partition the property. A creditor of one may not claim the property or the proceeds of sale. In Florida, the signature of both spouses is needed to sell the property and one cannot sell their interest alone. Both are required to sign a mortgage or any other type of contract.
Colorado does not recognize tenancy by entirety. A grant of ownership of real estate to two or more persons is presumed to create a tenancy in common, unless the instrument specifically states that a joint tenancy is being created.

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.
That depends on the names listed as grantees on the deed and what tenancy was recited. Ohio is not a community property state so the grantee(s) in the deed owns the property. The following tenancies are recognized in Ohio:Ohio:Ohio recognizes the following types of ownership: tenancy in common, joint tenancy and tenancy by entirety created prior to April 4, 1985, but not community property and tenancy by entirety after April 4, 1985.

A divorce decree generally breaks a tenancy by the entirety and creates a tenancy in common between the parties. In that case when one dies their half interest in the property passes under their will or to their heirs at law under the state laws of intestacy if they had no will. You can check the laws of your state at the related question link provided below. In your case the interest would pass to the spouse of the decedent or the decedent's children.
