What if the deed doesn't say joint tenants or tenants 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.
How can you tell if your title is a joint tenants or tenants in common title?
The only way is to read the deed. It will specify how the title is written.For example, if it says "joint tenants", "jointly" or "tenants by the entirety", or "a married couple", it is joint title. Otherwise, if it simply lists two or more names then there is a presumption that they are are "tenants in common."Similarly, if title is passed by will, the specific words will determine if title is joint or common, as in "to my surviving children jointly with right of survivorship" or "to my surviving children."ClarificationIn some jurisdictions simply referring to the owners as a married couple will not create a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. In those states, a tenancy in common is the default tenancy if the tenancy is not specifically created in the deed. Massachusetts is one example. In some states simply reciting joint tenants in a deed does not create a joint tenancy. The words, "with right of survivorship" must be stated clearly. You need to check your state laws regarding creation of a joint tenancy.

What does a tenant in common deed look like?
When two or more people purchase land, they can own it as 'joint tenants' or as 'tenants in common'. If they own it as joint tenants, they each own an equal share of the property. If one joint tenant dies, his/her share is extinguished and the remaining joint tenant(s) is/are the owner(s). The share of the deceased joint tenant does not become part of his/her estate. A husband and wife will usually own a property as joint tenants. If they own it as tenants in common, the share owned by each does not have to be equal. If one tenant in common dies, that share of the property becomes part of the estate of the deceased tenant in common. Usually the deed itself will state that the owners are either joint tenants or tenants in common.

What is the normal protocol in regards to the names on the title when a homeowner refinances?
Refinancing is simply obtaining a new loan, and should not change the names on the title. If someone is trying to take your name off the title during refinancing, they are trying to cheat you out of your share in the home. Refinancing has no effect on the title of a real property. The changing of title to real property is controlled by the laws of the state in which the property is located. It is extremely important to discuss the way property is to be held before the title is issued to avoid future legal complications. Tenancy-in-Common, Joint Tenancy, Joint Tenancy With Rights of Survivorship or Tenancy-By-The-Entirety (for married couples only). Refinancing can be used to change the names on both the mortgage and the title. That said, there are scams out there where the person who originally owned the house is told they can't be on the mortgage loan and so can't be on the title. THAT IS NOT SO. Look for another lender and question the morality of the person who wants to do this "for" you. In the case of a divorce or other split, one person can sign a quitclaim and a warranty deed and then the names on the title can be changed. == ==
