Joint-tenants vs. tenants in common?? - Posted by Kristine-CA

My understanding of joint-tenancy is that that any of the owners can sell their interest in the property–separately from the other joint tenants. What happens with tenants-in-common? What happens when tenants-in-common cannot come to an agreement about a sale?

Is a partition suit necessary in both cases when owners do not agree to sell together?

Joint tenancy doesn’t affect just survivorship. A joint tenancy automatically ends if either joint tenant conveys his interest to some other person. The new owner becomes a tenant-in-common with the remaining ex-joint tenant. If someone, creditor or such, sues a joint tenant and acquires his or her interest, it automatically severs the joint tenancy.

A tenant-in-common can only transfer the interest that he or she has. If they don’t all agree to sell, a partition suit seeking a forced sale as the altrnative is necessary for relief.

Yes Vlad is correct. You can sell your interest in the property, but you can not leave it to your heirs in joint tenancy, because it goes to your other owners.

So if 3 people (A, B, C) own a property as Joint Tenancy (33%) each, then if C passes on, A now has 50% and B has 50%.

Now if it was Tenancy in Common and C pass on, A still has 33%, B has 33% and the heirs of C have 33%.

If owners do not agree to sell together, then the one that wants to sell, can have the one that does not simply buy our their interests for what they would have received selling.

This is why having solid attorneys document everything in a partnership going in.

Hi Kristine,

From what I understood studying for IL Realtor’s exam is that Joint tenancy and Tennancy in Common are basically the same, except for the right of survivorship. In other words, if the two people own their property as joint tennants, when one of them dies, he/she cannot pass their interest to their heirs, where tennants in common may.
