Select \"Co-owner\" if more than one person or business will share ownership of the property with the grantee after the deed is signed. This would be the case, for example, if the grantor is a tenant in common and is transferring his or her interest to the grantee. The other tenants in common would not necessarily join in the deed as grantors, since only the grantor is changing his or her interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Grantee's Property Interest\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Here you should indicate what type of joint property interest the grantees are receiving. Depending on your state, you can choose between a tenancy in common, a joint tenancy, a tenancy by the entirety or community property interest, and a partnership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Tenancy in Common\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>A tenancy in common is a joint property interest in which each tenant (property owner) owns an undivided share in the whole property. Each tenant may transfer his or her interest without the need for the other tenants to join in the deed. When a tenant dies, his or her share passes according to their \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Fcategories\u002Festate-planning\u002Flast-will-and-testament\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">will\u003C\u002Fa> or under state intestacy law when no will exists. Multiple businesses sharing ownership often choose to own as tenants in common due to the simplicity and flexibility of these ownership interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Joint Tenancy\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>A joint tenancy is the same but with a few important differences. First, each tenant owns an equal interest. So if there are four joint tenants, then each has a 1\u002F4 ownership interest in the property. Also, a joint tenant may not sell or transfer his or her interest without the consent of the other tenants. This means that all joint tenants must sign as grantors when transferring or changing ownership and must sign together as grantees when receiving ownership. Lastly, each tenant has the right of survivorship, so when a joint tenant dies, his or her interest automatically passes to the other joint tenants in equal shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Tenancy by the Entirety\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Tenancy by the entirety and community property interests are basically identical in nature and only differ in name. They are both similar to a joint tenancy but are for married couples. The same rules apply, including right of survivorship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Final Steps\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Remember to record your deed with your local land title office, usually known as the County Recorder’s Office or County Clerk’s Office.
