it is by default whatever is listed on the granting deed: tenants in common or joint with rights of survivorship.

Or, ... er... quitclaim, or warranty/non-warranty...or...

i.e. whatever is on the granting deed is the "default."

  • The deeds do not state it, i.e. they do not say "as tenants in common" and they do not say "as joint tenants" anywhere on the deeds.

  • If the deed does not say "joint tenants with rights of survivorship" then it is not a joint tenancy.
