Today, we&#8217;re looking at <strong>Joint Tenancy<\/strong>, and the other alternative called <strong>Tenancy-in-Common<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-a-joint-tenancy-or-tenancy-in-common\">What&#8217;s a joint tenancy or tenancy-in-common?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When more than one person owns a property, there are two main ways to share it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is a <strong>joint tenancy,<\/strong> which is common for married couples. Under this arrangement, neither owner has specific shares in the property \u2013 they&#8217;re both equal. If one co-owner dies, the other inherits the entire property, regardless of whether the deceased has left a will (this is called the <em>right of survivorship<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 13th May 2019, Muis has said that the Fatwa Committee recognises joint tenancies as being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/joint-tenancy-contracts-for-muslim-home-owners-recognised-as-religiously-valid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">religiously valid<\/a> for Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-17183\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/homeowner-mbti-myers-briggs.jpg\" alt=\"homeowner mbti myers briggs\" class=\"wp-image-17183\" style=\"width:700px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When more than one person owns a property, there are two main ways to share it.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The other arrangement, <strong>tenancy-in-common<\/strong>, is a norm for investment properties (particularly commercial properties). Tenants-in-common own a specific share in the property (such as 30% of the property). When one co-owner dies, the other doesn&#8217;t immediately inherit the entire property; they still only keep their share in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say you and a business partner purchase an industrial property, and you own 30%. If your business partner dies, you won&#8217;t inherit the entire property. You would keep your 30%, and your business partner&#8217;s portion might go to, say, one of their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must decide the method of holding the property at the time of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-this-matter-for-homeowners\">How does this matter for homeowners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For families, joint tenancies are practical and simple. It ensures that, if one partner dies, their property is simply taken over by their spouse (or other co-owning family member) with no hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are two advantages to tenancy-in-common for families:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it allows for decoupling. This is when one spouse fully transfers the property to another and then purchases another property. This will sidestep the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/property-jargon-of-the-day-additional-buyers-stamp-duty-absd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Additional Buyer&#8217;s Stamp Duty<\/a> (ABSD), as the spouse that transfers away their property is effectively a first-time buyer again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-8511\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home-ownership-child.jpg\" alt=\"home ownership child name\" class=\"wp-image-8511\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home-ownership-child.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home-ownership-child-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home-ownership-child-940x626.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home-ownership-child-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The benefits of a joint tenancy are different from the benefits of tenancy-in-common, for families.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For the decoupling to happen, however, <strong>they cannot hold their property as joint tenants<\/strong>. They must be tenants-in-common, so that one can transfer their share to the other. The usual approach is to have one spouse hold 99% share, while the other holds one% (see below for the reason).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, tenancy-in-common can ensure a spouse doesn&#8217;t take over the entire property. For example, if you want to make sure your children or sibling take priority over your spouse, a tenancy-in-common would allow those other family members to inherit your share, rather than your spouse taking the whole house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a home ownership issue, note that being tenants-in-common <em>won&#8217;t give one side more right to live in the property than another<\/em>. The person who owns 99% can&#8217;t just kick out the one who owns 1%; it doesn&#8217;t work that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wait-why-99-and-1\">Wait, why 99% and 1%?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you transfer your share of the house, the receiver is still obliged to pay stamp duties like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/property-jargon-of-the-day-buyers-stamp-duty-bsd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buyer&#8217;s Stamp Duty<\/a> (BSD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a 99-1 split, the stamp duties will only be payable on the 1% being transferred. This is much cheaper than, say, paying stamp duties on 50% being transferred.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-23867\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Interest-rate-movements.jpg\" alt=\"Businessman drawing &quot;house and mortgage rates&quot; on a virtual glass board\" class=\"wp-image-23867\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Interest-rate-movements.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Interest-rate-movements-380x284.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The usual approach for tenants-in-common is to have one spouse hold 99 per cent share, while the other holds one per cent.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s a risk to one party here, in the event of a divorce. If you&#8217;ve both been paying an equal share of the home loan, but you get divorced, one side will own 99% of the house. Of course, the courts are not bound to follow this blindly, and lawyers can battle it out; but it drags things out and raise legal costs. Think on it before you sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-if-you-already-have-a-joint-tenancy-but-want-to-decouple\">What if you already have a joint tenancy, but want to decouple?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can convert a joint tenancy to tenancy-in-common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For private properties, the conversion requires you to lodge a declaration at the Singapore Land Authority. The other co-owners will have to sign a statutory declaration before a Commissioner for Oaths and give their approval for the conversion. The legal fees are usually between S$1,000 and S$1,500.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-17374\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-833135580-1.jpg\" alt=\"Confused couple studying about renting, sitting in a desk at home\" class=\"wp-image-17374\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-833135580-1.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-833135580-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-833135580-1-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can convert a joint tenancy to tenancy-in-common.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For HDB flats, you&#8217;ll have to call or send a query via HDB&#8217;s website. Note that, as of June 2016, HDB has not allowed decoupling except for highly specific reasons (e.g. divorce, death, loss of Singapore citizenship). If you&#8217;re intending to convert to tenancy-in-common just to decouple and buy a second house, you&#8217;ll be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-this-affect-the-mortgage\">How does this affect the mortgage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly, banks don&#8217;t really care whether you are tenants-in-common or joint tenants. If the mortgage isn&#8217;t paid, the bank will foreclose on the property. And then the bank just owns everything, so none of this is a big issue to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you may have to get the bank&#8217;s approval when converting from a joint tenancy to a tenancy-in-common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-bit-of-property-jargon-mystifies-you-let-us-know-in-the-comments-section-below\">What bit of property jargon mystifies you?
