It covers the two forms of co-ownership: joint tenancy and tenancy in common; the reform of co-ownership in 1925; joint tenancies in the early twentieth century; the current conveyancing practice to create an express trust; rules when there is no express declaration of a trust; resulting and constructive trusts; quantifying the beneficial interest under a constructive trust; severance of joint tenancies; and methods of severance.
