What unity is NOT required to create a Joint Tenancy in Delaware?

In Delaware, a Joint Tenancy can be established with the essential unities of title, interest, and possession. The requirement of these unities ensures that all joint tenants hold equal rights to the property and have the same interests in that property.

Unity of Title refers to the requirement that all joint tenants must acquire their interest in the property through the same legal instrument, such as a deed. Unity of Interest indicates that each joint tenant must hold the same kind and amount of interest in the property, often expressed as an equal share. Unity of Possession means that each joint tenant has the right to possess and enjoy the whole property, not just a fractional part of it.

Strawman conveyance, while it can be a mechanism used in property law for various purposes, is not a requirement for forming a Joint Tenancy. In fact, in many instances, a strawman might be used to facilitate a transfer but does not by itself create the unity of ownership necessary for Joint Tenancy. Thus, this option is correctly identified as not being required for the establishment of Joint Tenancy in Delaware.
