How can one heir receive the benefit of joint tenant survivorship and not have to share the property with other heirs?
Real property must be acquired by a deed as joint tenantswith the right of survivorship in order for one to have the other's interest in the case of death. Property held as joint tenants does not become a part of an owner's estate. Their interest passes directly to the surviving joint tenant.Therefore, if the one 'heir' owned property with the decedent as a joint tenant, then full ownership automatically passed to that one heir at the moment of death. They do not have to share that particular property because as soon as the decedent died the remaining joint tenant owned the property free and clear.

In contrast, tenants in common do not have automatic rights of survivorship, which can lead to complications and potential disputes over ownership after one owner's death.

What is joint tenancy?
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.
