What does tenancy mean?
Joint tenancy is actually a term involving ownership of property. The two most common legal forms of property ownership involving two or more people are as "joint tenants" or as "tenants in common." Spouses of one another generally take title as joint tenants, because on the death of a joint tenant the surviving joint tenant automatically becomes the owner of the property. If they had been tenants in common, the deceased person's share would have formed part of the deceased person's estate, which might not have been left to the surviving tenant in common.

Joint Tenancy Warranty Deed vs Divorce Decree If a warranty deed is in Joint Tenancy and a divorce decree says its a 60 40 split which document rules?
Ok the property is held in joint tenancy which means upon the death of one of the joint tenants, the property, by operation of law, passes to the survivor. The Divorce Decree (Judgment) does not effect this. Now if a memorandum of the Divorce Decree was recorded it would become a lien on the property and would eventually have to be satisfied from a sale. If both of the joint tenants are alive, the Divorce Decree controls. If one of the joint tenants dies the estate of the deceased joint tenant would have a claim against the surviving joint tenant under the Decree. Tony B.
