AU Australia property term

Joint Tenants

Australia-wide

Plain-English definition

A form of co-ownership where owners hold the property together and a deceased owner's interest usually passes automatically to the survivor.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

This is different from holding separate shares as tenants in common and can affect estate and foreign-buyer planning.
