Joint tenancy

Explanation:

Under Joint tenancy arrangement, there is no right of inheritance. This legal arrangement involves property ownership by two or more people, each with equal rights and obligations. When one of the owners die, his interest in the property automatically goes to the survivors with no need for court interferences.
