As with the tenancy-in-common, a joint tenancy can exist in three or more people. Obviously, each party must have an interest that is equal to one divided by the total number of joint tenants. If one of the joint tenants dies, the others share his or her interest and they remain joint tenants with each other.
Unlike most states Texas does not automatically recognize joint tenancies as having a right of survivorship. Instead the parties must agree, in writing, to include a right of survivorship.
Joint tenants means that both owners own the whole of the property and have equal rights to the property. If one owner dies the property will pass to the remaining owner. You cannot give the property to anyone else in your will.Tenants in common normally record their shares of the property in a deed of trust.

A trustee deed offers no such warranties about the title.
A warranty deed protects property owners from future claims that someone else actually owns a portion (or all) of their property, while trustee deeds protect lenders when borrowers default on their mortgage loans.
Trusts can be both single and joint.Joint trusts are particularly useful in community property states, such as Arizona, California, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, Louisiana, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.
You can hold a property as 'joint tenants' which means you both own the whole of the property rather than a specified share, and if one of you should pass away the other would automatically inherit the entirety of the property. If you hold a property as 'tenants in common' this means you both own a notional share.
Holding assets in a trust that provides specific provisions keeps assets in the estate owner's possession and gives a full step up in basis at death, which means the property is assessed at fair market value at the time of death rather than valued on what the asset was worth when it was purchased.
