An estate in joint-tenancy is where lands or tenements are granted to two or more persons with intent apparent on the face of the instrument that they shall take as joint-tenants, to hold in fee-simple, fee-tail, for life, for years, or at will. In consequence of such grants, an estate is called an estate in joint-tenancy, and sometimes an estate in jointure, which word, as well as the other, signifies a union or conjuction of interest.
