What is integral about this type of vesting is that the parties own the property as a whole unit, unified in time, possession, interest and from whom they got title from. On the other hand the individual owners cannot will their share to another person.
This joint tenancy can be broken if one co-owner signs and records a deed from himself to himself. This deed will change the unity of time and title factors. When the joint tenancy is broken the owners will own as tenants in common. A word of caution: an individual should not hold title in joint tenancy with a legal entity, like a corporation. Co-owners can hold title as "tenants-in-common", "joint tenants", "community property", or "community property with the right of survivorship".
Co-owners who hold title as "tenants-in-common" each will own undivided interests, which may or may not be equal in quantity or duration. Each party is entitled to their share of any income and must bear their proportionate share of the expenses. The Lady Bird Deed allows you to give yourself, and your spouse, if any, a life estate in the homestead.
The Lady Bird Deed is special because you reserve the power to sell, rent, mortgage, and even revert the property title back you at any moment.
When the life tenants pass away, then the property passes to the beneficiaries you selected under the deed. If there are no minor children, then one option is to transfer the Homestead to a Revocable Living Trust. If you are married, then your spouse will need to consent as well to the transfer.
The revocable living trust is also the best way to own real property when the real estate property is not your homestead. If it is not your homestead then it will not have any of the restrictions mentioned above. The LLC provides you asset protection and then the revocable living trust will hold title to the LLC, effectively avoiding probate if you were to pass away. Make sure you look at your deed. Understand how the deed is titled, specially if there are more than one person in the deed.
