Tenancy by the entirety

Generally speaking, this is a joint tenancy between husband and wife. A tenancy by the entirety cannot be terminated except by the joint action of the husband and wife during their lives. This is in contrast to a joint tenancy, which either party may terminate merely by conveying the interest to another party.
