Tenants in common (TIC) own a property not necessarily in equal shares, unlike joint tenants, the TIC can leave or sell their percentage holding to any beneficiary or willing buyer that they wish, upon death the percentage holding of the property would not pass automatically to the other as it would if they were joint tenants. The selling costs of the property would probably be pro-rata to their holding, as can be seen it is unlikely any one would be interested in buying a part of a property, a sale can be forced with the permission of the court if it is challenged.
