Re: SG Loan of Msian Loan Better ? Hidden Costs ?
Anyone knows in which document is stated the type of joint ownership, i.e. Tenancy in common or Joint Tenancy? I search the SPA, couldn't find. very important difference. How come lawyers didn't mention and let purchasers decided? Which is the default?
"A property held by 2 or more persons as joint tenants means that upon the death of one joint owner, his interest in the property is taken over by the surviving owner(s). A joint owner may not will away his interest in the property to others in his Will.*
Property held by 2 or more persons as tenants in common means that each owner has a specified or distinct share or proportion in the property. For example, such share could be on an equal basis (50%-50%) or 70% - 30% basis etc. Each owner may be able to dispose his share in the property either by sale or under his Will. Upon one owner's death, the surviving co-owner(s) do(es) not take over the deceased's interest in the property as is in the case of joint tenancy. His share passes under his will or in accordance with the law of intestacy, as the case may be."
