Generally, when two people choose to own their property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship the full ownership passes to the Survivor when one dies . . . period. That operation of law can't be contested without a very good reason. You should direct your question to an attorney who can review the details and the reason you think you have a legitimate claim.

What are the differences between joint tenancy with right of survivorship and tenancy in common?

Joint tenancy with right of survivorship and tenancy in common are both ways in which multiple individuals can own property together. In joint tenancy with right of survivorship, if one owner dies, their share automatically goes to the surviving owner(s). In tenancy in common, each owner has a distinct share of the property that can be passed on to their heirs when they die.

What are the risks involved in joint tenancy titles?

There are no risks in owning land in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. It is a tenancy that is chosen by co-owners who want the title to remain between them if one should die. When one dies the other automatically becomes the sole owner. If the relationship changes the tenancy can be easily broken and converted to a tenancy in common whereby the interest of a co-owner would pass to her estate and to her heirs-at-law upon her death. That conversion should be done with the help of an attorney who specializes in real estate law. One joint tenant can sell their interest in the property and that conveyance would convert the tenancy to a tenancy in common. One joint tenant can force the sale of the property by a Petition to Partition. The court would appoint a commissioner to sell the property and the net proceeds would be divided after the payment of legal costs and the costs associated with the sale.

What type of property ownership allows you to own your share independently and retain the right to transfer that share by sale?

Owning property as a tenant in common or as a joint tenant allows the owner to sell their proportionate interest. However, in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship, the share of a deceased owner passes automatically to the surviving owner bypassing probate. During life that share could be sold. In the case of a tenant in common, their share passes to their estate when they die.Owning property as a tenant in common or as a joint tenant allows the owner to sell their proportionate interest.

Does the person who is named beneficiary on a life insurance policy have to share the money if the other two beneficiaries die but have children living?

Possibly yes. That depends on whether a tenancy was also recited. Generally, if the three who were named as beneficiaries were to take as "joint tenants" then the share of any deceased beneficiary would pass to the other beneficiaries. If the document was silent as to a tenancy then generally, the share of a deceased beneficiary would pass to their own heirs.
