What are the differences between Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) and Tenants in Common (TIC)?

Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) and Tenants in Common (TIC) are both forms of property ownership, but they have key differences. In JTWROS, if one owner dies, their share automatically goes to the surviving owner(s). In TIC, each owner has a distinct share that can be passed on to heirs. JTWROS offers survivorship rights, while TIC allows for individual ownership shares.
