When a property is held in joint tenancy with a right or survivorship, income from the property (and gain or loss upon its sale) is divided between the owners insofar as each is entitled, under state law, to share in the income. There must be evidence that the joint ownership was bona fide and not used merely as a tax-avoidance scheme. These rules also apply to tenants in common. TIC agreements usually need to be written with the help of a lawyer specializing in property or real estate. Since TIC laws vary from state to state and in different countries, anyone making a TIC agreement should be aware of the state laws, which supersede agreements in many cases. If a provision in the TIC agreement is in conflict with a law regarding TICs, then the law often wins. So before signing, one must be certain that every part of the TIC conforms to the laws in one's state or country.

What are the differences between Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) and Tenants in Common (TIC)?

Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) and Tenants in Common (TIC) are both forms of property ownership, but they have key differences. In JTWROS, if one owner dies, their share automatically goes to the surviving owner(s). In TIC, each owner has a distinct share that can be passed on to heirs. JTWROS offers survivorship rights, while TIC allows for individual ownership shares.


If real estate is held as teanant in common who pays the real estate tax?

Tenant-in-Common AgreementTIC structured offerings are formed with an in-place TIC Agreement. This agreement describes the relationship between the investor and all of the other TIC owners. The rights and obligations of the Tenants-in-Common are governed by this agreement.In addition to the TIC Agreement, offerings are structured with an additional document signed by each TIC owner providing the sponsor with the ability to handle the day-to-day activities of the property. Thus the TICs have little required of them in the way of management. This ability is conferred in two ways: * Master Lease-a variety of Tenant-in-Common where the TICs act as the landlord, or Master Lessor, of the property, collecting rent from the tenant, or Master Lessee, who then subleases the individual suites to the tenants in the master lease. The sponsor typically oversees the management of the property (leasing, collecting rents, upkeep, etc.) TICs are paid a fixed rent according to the master lease, typically with possible annual increases. The Master Lessee typically keeps any property net income over the master lease rent amount.If there is no written agreement to the contrary, then one tenant in common may pay the taxes (and collect the rents) and seek compensation from the other tenants in common for any deficiency.
