When considering purchasing a property with another person, it's important to understand the different types of ownership that may apply. The most common types of ownership for individuals are tenants in common and joint tenants, with joint tenants having additional restrictions on selling and full rights of survivorship in case of one owner's death. It's essential to understand these ownership types to determine your rights to the property and the process involved in selling or transferring ownership.
