Types of joint ownership of property
When two or more people buy a property but do not specifically mention the share that each has in the property, they have a 'tenancy-in-common'. All co-owners can use the entire property and every co-owner is deemed to be having an equal share in the property. If one of the co-owners dies, his share in the property does not pass to the other co-owners but to the person named in the will of the deceased. The inheritor becomes a tenant-in-common with the other surviving co-owners. This is usually when siblings pool money to buy property.
If the property is owned by two or more persons at the same time in equal shares, it is a joint tenancy. But unlike tenants-in-common, when one joint tenant dies, his share automatically passes on to the surviving joint tenant(s). However, all the co-owners should have taken possession of the property at the same time in the same deed and with equal interests.
This is a special form of joint ownership by the husband and wife, with each owning one-half of the property. Neither spouse can sell the property without the consent of the other. Like in case of joint tenancy, on death of one co-owner, the share of ownership automatically passes on to the surviving co-owner. Apart from having acquired the possession at the same time and in the same deed, the two co-owners must also be married. This can be terminated only by divorce, death or mutual agreement of both spouses. However, such a termination will result in the type of ownership to be converted to 'tenancy-in-common'.
Co-parcenary is somewhat similar to joint tenancy but is possible only in a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) structure. The co-parcenary ownership is governed by the same laws that apply to HUFs. A coparcener, owing to his birth in the family, becomes a shareholder of the joint family property. Even an unborn child has equal right to the HUF property. On the death of a co-parcener, his undivided share in the property passes on to his heirs and not to the other co-parceners.

How do you amend a deed to show joint tenancy? | Connecticut ...
I have a friend whose father is dying of cancer and he hates lawyers and refuses to use one to establish a trust. So she is trying to get the deed to her father’s property amended to show joint tenancy with right of survivorship but we can’t locate any forms to help do that that don’t involve a lawyer. Been all over the searches with no lawyer-less results… any suggestions? The main goal is to keep any property inheritance out of probate.
You draft a deed from her father to her father and her as “joint tenants with right of survivorship” That language must be immediately after the grantee clause which is where the names go on the deed. Here is a form that you can get for $1.00:

PS an attorney will usually draw a deed for about $100. It may be worth it.
it sounds like he is trying to get her father to make her a joint tenant on a deed assuming she isn’t already on the deed with tennancy in common; in which case she’ll probably need a new deed. It may not be possible without an atty in some states; and it may still not keep the property out of probate. She needs to call the local clerk of court and ask them for advice; and she may have to pay an atty for legal advice as to the possiblilty of doing what she needs done in your county if it can be done.
Most office supply stores carry fill-in-the-blank quit claim deeds. The father is the Grantor, the father and EVERYONE else HE wants to inherit the property is the Grantee.
Before they fill out the deed, have them contact the local clerk of court and find out the legal requirements fo the deed to be recorded. Recording laws vary from state to state, so check with the LOCAL clerk. Follow the clerk’s instructions precisely. Once executed, record the deed with the clerk.
In most states, this will cause the property to pass outside of probate. However, this can also violate the terms of a mortgage, and it an be undone byu a judge if the father’s creditors find out about it and the creditors are left with large, unpaid debts owed by the father.
