Joint Tenancy

A type of ownership where two or more individuals hold title to real property as a single unit, with the right of survivorship. This means that if one owner dies, their interest automatically passes to the surviving owner(s).

Tenancy in Common

A type of ownership where two or more individuals hold title to real property, but each has a separate, undivided interest. If one owner dies, their interest passes to their heirs, not the other owners.

Leasehold Interest

A leasehold interest is the right to possess and use real property for a specified period of time, as defined by a lease agreement. This interest is held by the lessee (tenant).

Proprietary Lease

A proprietary lease grants an individual the right to occupy a specifically designated unit within a multi-unit building. The leaseholder also owns shares in the cooperative corporation that owns the building.

Study Notes

Chapter 2 Quiz - Key Concepts

  • Leasehold Interest: Owned by the lessee (tenant).

  • Tenancy in Common: Undivided interests in a property, without rights of survivorship. Earl and Merle owned a property this way.

  • Joint Tenancy: Undivided interests with rights of survivorship. Guarantees that if one owner dies, the other owner(s) automatically inherit the deceased owner's share.

  • Severalty: Sole ownership of a property.

  • Periodic Estate: A leasehold estate that automatically renews for a set period (e.g., month-to-month).

  • Proprietary Lease: A lease in a cooperative, where the tenant pays a part of the property's overall expenses. Sam had this type of lease.

  • Joint Tenancy Ownership: Requires a "right of survivorship" clause in the deed, and equal shares for all parties. Husband and wife relationships do not automatically create a joint tenancy.

  • Community Property: A form of ownership where property acquired during marriage is owned equally by both spouses.

  • Right of Survivorship: A key feature of joint tenancy. When one owner dies, their interest automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s).

  • Life Estate: A property interest that lasts only for the lifetime of a specific person (the "life tenant").

  • Lease: A contract granting temporary possession and use of property.

  • Condominium Ownership: Joel had a condominium. It's a way of ownership that gives a person ownership of a unit and a share of common areas.

  • Fee Simple Title: Complete ownership of property.

  • Ownership in Severalty: A single person or entity owns the rights to a property.

  • Estates: The different kinds of interests a person has in a piece of real property (e.g., life estate or fee simple).

  • Interests in Personal Property: A personal interest in something like improvements on land, leaseholds or mineral rights.
