tenancy by the entirety Hear it!

tenancy by the entirety Finance Definition
A form of property co-ownership in which ownership passes at the death of one co-owner to the surviving co-owner. Tenancy by the entirety is similar to joint tenancy with right of survivorship. However, tenancy by ownership interests are limited to ownership by two persons who are married when the property is acquired. If the couple divorces, then the ownership automatically changes to tenancy in common.
