In this episode:
• At law only joint tenancy, and never more than four legal owners
• Four unities for a joint tenancy; possession alone for a tenancy in common
• Survivorship beats the will, so sever in your lifetime or not at all
• Severance converts only the severing party's own interest
• Joint names presume equal shares; sole name needs agreement or contribution
