What is the name of your state? NH

My boyfriend of 15 years just completed a Warranty Deed adding my name to the house purchased 1 year ago. It states Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship. I am not on the Mortgage.
Question: Are we equal owners? If he/we decide to sell the house tomorrow, am I entitled to half? What exactly does this Warrranty Deed mean or entitle me to?
