how to hold title to property

What is the name of your state? texas
What is the difference in joint tennants w/ right of suvivorship and community property w/ right of suvivorship? Will one or the other avoid probate if you hold title to your property as such?

I have never seen community property with right of survivorship on a deed. Community property is used in some states to refer to property in a marriage and who owns it. Joint tenancy with right of survivorship avoids probate and the property transfers to the survivor of those who own property should one die.

**A: that's because it is NOT a form of tenancy to real property.

WEll I didn't think it was. But maybe surveyors who are writing deeds are coming up with new terms for things.
