Joint tenancy: If you own land and property with one or more persons, your ownership is normally a joint tenancy. On the death of a joint tenant, their share automatically passes to the other joint tenants. Alternatively you may own the property as tenants in common. In this case you can leave your share of the property to someone else in your Will.
