If you own a home with another person, there is a designation on your deed about how you “hold title.” In part, this refers to who would get ownership of the home if you were no longer living. Would the ownership be fully transferred to the other person (Joint Tenancy with Survivorship Rights)? Or would your ownership in the home be passed on to your next of kin (Tenancy in Common)? This is an oversimplification, but an important piece of the homeownership process to have recorded correctly or addressed in your estate planning. Reach out if you’d like help finding out how you “hold title” - we’d be happy to refer you to a reputable title company or attorney.
