Under these rules, both joint tenancies and tenancies in common can exist at law in equity as legal estates and equitable interests respectively.

To avoid this problem, the 1925 legislation in England and Wales provided that tenancies in common of the legal estate could no longer exist. The legal title henceforth had to be held by trustees as joint tenants on trust for sale for the benefit of the beneficiaries, who may be either joint tentants or tenants in common of the beneficial (equitable) interest.",
