Question

What is the difference between taking title as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" (JTWROS) and "tenants in common"?

Answer

In Kansas, if you hold title with another person as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and the other title holder dies, you will then own the whole estate.  If you own as tenants in common with another person, you each own 1/2, and if one of you dies,  that person's half would then be owned by their estate.
