In Pennsylvania, how many 'unities' are required to create a joint tenancy?
A2 unities (time and title)
B3 unities (time, title, and interest)
C4 unities (time, title, interest, and possession)✓ Correct
D5 unities (time, title, interest, possession, and survivorship)
Explanation
Joint tenancy requires four unities: time (acquired at the same time), title (by the same instrument), interest (equal shares), and possession (equal right to possess the whole). Without all four unities, a joint tenancy may not be valid.
