Lawyer Li Yusheng explains relevant legal issues
In countries with common law systems, there is the so-called Joint tenancy system. According to this system, assuming that a real estate property is held in so-called joint tenancy, when one joint tenant dies, his interest will automatically be transferred to the other surviving joint tenants. Co-owner. If there are only two joint tenants originally, the surviving joint tenant becomes the sole owner of the property. If there are more than two joint tenants, the deceased's interest will be divided equally among the remaining joint tenants. This feature is called "right of survivorship", commonly known as "longevity deed", which means that as long as the joint tenants live, they will always have the interest. Such a system does not exist in Taiwan.
