Hi DUANE,
Welcome to the forum.
You rightly understood that in Joint tenancy if one tenant dies the other will automatically get the ownership. But I think Survivorship Deeds is the best way to achieve joint tenancy. So better use a Survivorship Deed.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of luck,
Larry |

DUANE, USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IS CONSIDERED RUDE!
The answer to your question, is, Yes, with joint tenancy, the surviving joint tenant takes title to the property. |
