Most married couples own property in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety.
There are other options and the option that is best for you will depend on a variety of factors such as your estate tax situation and provisions you may want to make for children, step-children, or other relatives. For example, couples who have children from previous marriages may want their home equity transferred to their children upon their death, rather than to the spouse. Couples who are joint tenants may want to provide in their wills for the distribution of property if both die simultaneously. Be sure to consult an attorney about the various advantages and disadvantages of different types of ownership so that you can make an informed decision about the form of ownership that is best for you.
