Principles of Real EstateQuestion 7 of 100
A form of co-ownership that includes the right of survivorship is:
a.Joint tenancy

Joint tenancy carries the right of survivorship, so a deceased owner's share passes automatically to the surviving joint tenants rather than to heirs. Tenancy in common has no survivorship, and each share passes by will or inheritance. Ownership in severalty means a single owner holds title alone.
