Depending on the jurisdiction, the following phrases will create a joint tenancy: "As joint tenants" "As joint tenants with rights of survivorship" "As joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common" "As husband and wife" (unless otherwise stated).

Joint tenancy is a legal term for an arrangement that defines the ownership interests and rights among two or more co-owners of real property. In a joint tenancy, two or more people own property together, each with equal rights and responsibilities.

The four unities can be thought of as four requirements that need to exist simultaneously for a true joint tenancy estate to be created. Those four requirements are interest, time, title, and possession.

All joint tenants must derive their interest from the same document or via the same act. Each joint tenant has legal possession over the whole of the land. One of the co-owners is not entitled to exclusive possession of any part of the land. Each co-owner has the same interest in the land (an undivided equal interest).
