Agents get paid in this type of agreement only if they sell the property. No fee is earned if the owner alone sells the property

b. Possession;

d. Title


4. Tenancy by the entirety.

Although it may sound like more, this type of ownership is by one person or a corporation, and not being married has nothing to do with it.

Equal or unequal undivided ownership between two or more people is what characterizes this type of ownership. If an owner dies, the deceased person's share is conveyed to his or her heirs, not the other owners.

The four unities that must exist for this type of ownership to exist are


1.Interest: Each owner has the same interest.


2.Possession: All owners hold an undivided interest.


3.Time: All owners receive their interest at the same time.


4.Title: All owners acquire their interest with the same deed.




If one owner of a joint tenancy dies, that owner's interest reverts to the other owners. This right of survivorship may vary by state.

Ownership that's available only to married couples, tenancy by the entirety means that property may not be sold without the agreement of both parties. The right of survivorship exists to the extent that if one spouse dies, his/her interest reverts to the other spouse.
