Which of the following statements about joint tenancy in Colorado is NOT accurate?

Correct Answer

C) A joint tenant may not convey their interest without the consent of all other joint tenants

Option C is NOT accurate. In Colorado, a joint tenant CAN unilaterally convey their interest to a third party without the consent of other joint tenants. While doing so severs the joint tenancy (converting it to a tenancy in common as to the conveyed interest), the conveyance itself is valid without co-owner consent. This is a common misconception — people assume joint tenants are locked in together, but each tenant retains the right to alienate their own interest.

Answer Options
A
All joint tenants must acquire their interests at the same time
B
Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship
C
A joint tenant may not convey their interest without the consent of all other joint tenants
D
Joint tenancy requires equal shares among all co-owners
