Step by Step
Tenants in Common: In this arrangement, each tenant owns a fractional interest in the account's assets, which can be unequal depending on the agreement.
Income Distribution: Income is distributed based on ownership percentage, not necessarily equally.
Redemption Requests: Only the owner of the fractional interest has authority to request redemption for their portion.
Estate Taxation: Upon the death of a tenant, only their fractional interest is taxable in their estate.
