An estate that exists only between husband and wife with equal right of possession and enjoyment during their joint lives and with the right of survivorship; i.e., when one dies, the property goes to the surviving tenant. Such ownership requires both to convey land at the same time and together, a judgment against only one does not attach as a lien against the title to the real estate, and the survivor takes title by survivorship, not by probate.
