all of the ownership rights to another person.

2. Joint tenancy
3. Tenancy by the entirety
4. Community property
Tenancy in Common (TIC) - correct answer ✔✔Each tenant holds an undivided interest in the property.
The co-owners have unity of possession, meaning hat teach owner is entitled to possession and use of
the entire property, even though each holds only a fractional ownership interest. Ownership interest
divided, not the property.
May state fractional interest held by each co-owner. If no fractions stated, presumed to hold equal
shares.
Because they own separate interests, they can sell, convey, mortgage, or transfer their individual interest
in the TIC without consent of the other co-owners. Transferred only with the agreement of both parties
when a couple.
Joint Tenancy - correct answer ✔✔Property owned by two or more people whether married or
unmarried.
