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.

When joint tenants take title to the real estate through the same instrument it is called?
Joint tenants must take title under the same instrument and that instrument is called a deed. Under the common law joint tenants must acquire the same interest at the same time. A joint tenancy is based on the legal theory that the tenants own one estate- together. Therefore, when one dies their interest is extinguished and the survivor is now the sole owner of the estate. Note also that property can be acquired as joint tenants pursuant to a will that specifically states the property so devised is to be held as joint tenants.
In Oregon should a woman and man living together change deeds from tenants in entirety to tenants in common?
Tenants by the entirety is a tenancy reserved for people who are married. If two people who are not married acquire property as tenants by the entirety the tenancy would fail.

That way, if one died the other would automatically own the property.

No. They are now tenants in common. If one joint tenant conveys their interest to a third party the joint tenancy is severed.

They should consult with an attorney who can draft a proper deed for their jurisdiction.
What is meant by third party joint tenants?
Your phrase is not a legal term. However, you may be referring to a situation where a property owner desires to transfer her property to herself and another as joint tenants. In Massachusetts the owner now has a statutory right to execute a deed granting the property to herself and another as joint tenants. In many other states a straw must be used. By that method title to the property is conveyed to a third party thereby severing the interest of the owner. Title to the property is immediately conveyed by that third party back to the two who desire to own the property as joint tenants.

What are the advantages of holding property as joint tenants with survivorship rather than as tenants in common?
Holding property as joint tenants with survivorship offers the advantage of automatic transfer of ownership to the surviving joint tenant upon the death of the other owner. This avoids the property going through probate and ensures a smooth transfer of ownership. 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 are the differences between joint tenancy with rights of survivorship and tenants in common?
Joint tenancy with rights of survivorship and tenants in common are two types of property ownership. In joint tenancy, if one owner dies, their share automatically goes to the surviving owner(s). In tenants in common, each owner has a specific share of the property that can be passed on to their heirs.
