Holding title to property is legal ownership. It gives you the right to possess, use, enjoy, sell, or transfer it. In California, there are several ways to hold title to property. The most common ways are sole ownership, tenancy in common, joint tenancy, community property, community property with the right of survivorship, and a living trust.

The best way to hold title to property depends on your individual circumstances. If you are unsure which way is right for you, it is important to speak with an attorney.
