Q a Lawyers in your corner: Andrea is an associate at Ross & McBride LLP, practising in the Real Estate Law Group. Law School. She articled with Ross & McBride LLP and has been working exclusively with the Real Estate Group since being called to the Bar in 2005. She has extensive experience in both residential and commercial real estate law including property acquisitions and sales, mortgage financing and estate conveyancing. Andrea was born and raised in Hamilton; she is fluent in Portuguese and is enthusiastic and dedicated to assist all of her clients' legal needs. Joint Tenancy allows two or more people to own property equally with the "right of survivorship". Basically, when one of the joint tenants dies, the entire property belongs to the remaining, surviving joint tenant(s). Whoever is the last joint tenant to die, he/she will own the property. For instance, if John, Sue and Margaret all own a property as joint tenants and John dies, Sue and Margaret will be the owners of the property. If Sue then dies, Margaret will become the sole owner of the property. It should be noted that only the last person to die can use his/her Will to give the property to someone else. Andrea Mota MS IS FLUENT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND FRENCH In Canada, you have a greater risk of developing multiple sclerosis than in any other country. Simply put, it's Canada's disease. So what will you do? On the other hand, when parties take title as Tenants in Common they do not have a right to survivorship and each person owns a half, a third or some other portion that belongs only to them. Tenants in common can decide to sell or transfer their share to someone else and can leave their share to the property to someone in their Will. For instance, if John, Sue and Margaret own a property together, each with a 1/3 interest, when John dies, he can leave his share to his son Mark. As a result, Mark, Sue and Margaret would be the owners of the property. The manner in which one takes title should be given careful thought as it may have serious implications in the future. Prior to completing any purchase, one should discuss this matter with their lawyer to determine the best way for the parties to take title to their property.
