A joint tenancy between two people can be severed by either party executing a deed of their interest to another grantee.

It is the default tenancy in many jurisdictions when the tenancy is not stated in a deed with multiple grantees.

The interest of any deceased joint tenant passes automatically to the surviving joint tenants. A joint tenancy is created only if the following four conditions, called the Four Unities, are met:Time- All the tenants acquired their interest at the same time.Title- All the tenants have the same title.Interest- All the tenants have an equal share.Possession- All tenants must have an equal right to possess the property.
