Ownership of property by two or more persons so that when one dies, the survivor (s) take the entire property.

• A. Tenancy in Common
• B. Real Property
• C. Joint Tenancy
• D. Charitable

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is joint ownership with the right of survivorship. In a joint tenancy, two or more people own the property together and each has an equal share with equal rights to use the entire property. The key feature is the right of survivorship: when one owner dies, that deceased owner’s share doesn’t go to heirs or a will, but automatically passes to the surviving co-owners, who end up owning the entire property together.

This differs from tenancy in common, where owners can hold unequal shares and each owner’s interest passes to their heirs or beneficiaries at death, not to the other co-owners. Real property and charitable are unrelated to how ownership and survivorship work.
