Are Joint Tenants with a right of survivorship the same as Tenants In Common?

No they are different types of real property co-ownership. Tenancy in common is a type of co-ownership where two or more people ("tenants in common") own the property. It is the default tenancy in many jurisdictions when the tenancy is not stated in a deed with multiple grantees. Tenants in Common:Can own the property in equal or unequal sharesHave the right to the use and possession of the whole of the propertyPass on their share of the property to their heirs when they dieIn a joint tenancy the desire to create a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship must be so stated in the deed. 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.

My father-in-law's property has his name and one grandaughter's name on the deed and he recently died. Who is entitled to his share of the property?

You need to obtain a copy of the deed from the land records office and check the tenancy recited in the deed to your father-in-law and his grandaughter. If they were joint tenants then the property passed to her when he died and she now owns it. If there was no tenancy recited then it is probable that they were tenants-in-common and his half interest would pass to his heirs. In most states the default tenancy for unmarried co-owners is tenancy-in-common.


What are the ways a deed with right of survivorship can be broken?

Laws vary in different jurisdictions. You need to check the particular laws in yours. Generally, in states that allow tenancy by the entirety for legally married couples one tenant cannot sever the survivorship rights of the other without their written consent on a deed. Otherwise, a divorce will end that type of survivorship tenancy, changing it to a tenancy in common. In general joint tenancies with right of survivorship can be terminated when one tenant conveys their interest to a third party. If they simply wish to change the tenancy they can deed to a "straw" and then have the straw deed the interest back as a tenancy in common.


What does tenancy by the entirety mean in Florida?

Generally, and in Florida, a tenancy by the entirety is a special joint tenancy reserved for legally married people. They own the property with the unseverable common law right of survivorship. If one dies, the other automatically owns the property. With a general joint tenancy with the right of survivorship the tenancy can be broken by one of the parties and it will transform into a tenancy in common. The right of survivorship within a tenancy by the entirety cannot be severed by one of the parties. One may not sue the other to Partition the property. A creditor of one may not claim the property or the proceeds of sale. In Florida, the signature of both spouses is needed to sell the property and one cannot sell their interest alone. Both are required to sign a mortgage or any other type of contract.
