Tenants in Common

Definition

A form of property co-ownership where each owner holds a specific share (not necessarily equal). Unlike joint tenancy, there is no right of survivorship — each owner can leave their share to whoever they choose in their will. Common for unmarried couples, friends buying together, or unequal contributions.
