Tenants in common
Two or more co-owners each with a distinct share (such as 50/50), usually of land and buildings. When one tenant in common dies, the deceased's share is distributed according to his or her will or by the laws of intestacy.
Unlike joint tenants, the surviving tenant in common does not automatically receive the deceased's share.
The principle of survivorship does not apply.
