What is the meaning and effect of holding title to real property as joint tenants?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Pike v. Pike, 2021 NSSC 162 (CanLII):

Given my discussion of the ‘MPA’, I need not rely on the body of case law on the meaning and effect of holding title to real property as joint tenants. I am satisfied these facts support the same conclusion that the parties are ‘equal’ owners of the subject properties (Richardson v. Underwood, 2018 NSSC 258).
