Tenancy by the Entireties
A unique form of joint property ownership that can only be formed between spouses.

It offers the same quality of undivided ownership and right of survivorship found with a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship.

However, it also limits each spouse's ability to act independently with the property. For instance, neither spouse is permitted to grant a mortgage without the other spouse joining in the act or otherwise consenting.
