    You cannot give definitive advise without being in possession of all the facts, why I always advise a person to seek legal advice from a lawyer.


    However in answer to your question in a general sense. Joint tenants enjoy what is known as the
    `Right Of SurvivorShip'. Therefore I don't think that on the demise of a tenant, the tenants family would be happy with the whole interest passing to the HA, as opposed to holding as tenants in common who's share will pass by way of device or inheritance. Nor do I think a HA would have the legal capacity to be a 'joint tenant'.
    I'm going to watch the football and have a few beers! hope the post helps.

    Why not answer the question and not just quote a textbook deary65?!!

    I understand what you have written, but I imagine that 99% of MSEers are not legally qualified!
    It seems you have not understood what I have written!

    No, I understand the difference between TIC and a JT, but you contradicted yourself, and I can't be bothered to discuss it with you, because whilst you have made a good effort to research the topic, I don't think you really know what you are talking about. No offence! ;)
    Gone ... or have I?

    A, the law is indeed a contradiction in terms but, the fundamental principles remain the same. Whilst the law has been extremely creative through the centuries it has still not found a way for an artificial person(created de jure) to merge with a natural person. This is the reason incidentally why England could not be incorporated into a European constitution. But don't tell the government I said that.


    No offense taken, finding the law is one of my pastimes right or wrong only a court can decide.
