DESIGNATING HOW THE GRANTEES WILL HOLD THE PROPERTY: A. In the State of Ohio real property can be held by more than one person (concurrent estates) in the following ways: 1. If the Grantees ARE NOT married to each other, they can hold the property as: a. Tenants in Common: a type of concurrent estate in which each party owns an undivided interest in the property that will pass to their heirs when the tenant in common dies. Generally their shares are “equal” but may differ in size. b. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship (JTWROS): is a type of concurrent estate in which co-owners have a right of survivorship , meaning that if one owner dies, that owner's interest in the property will pass to the surviving owner or owners by operation of law, and avoiding probate. 2. If the Grantees ARE married to each other, they can hold the property as: a. Tenants in Common – See above b. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship – See above 3. In the past, Ohio accepted ownership of real property by husband and wife in the form known as “tenants by the entirety.” This was a type of joint ownership of real property by husband and wife where they each owned the entire property. (Tenants in common and joint tenants own an undivided fractional interest of the property.) In Ohio, tenants by the entirety were established by statute from 1972 to 1984. Although estates of tenancy by the entireties can no longer be created in Ohio, those interests established when the statute was in effect are still valid. 4. In the attached deed, the preparer will need to indicate how the Grantees will hold the property: as Tenants in Common or Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship. B. For example: “. . . as tenants in common , . .” OR “. . .as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and not as tenants in common , . .“ III.
