Severance of joint tenancy > a misnomer for ownership into separate title known as tenancy-in-common: seems to throw a lot of translation agencies that, negligently, change back the term to joint title.
The Norwegian daughter of an English student contemporary of mine living in Norway - and contesting probate or 'confirmation' of his late sister's and brother-in-law's Scottish Will - mentioned this expression to me the other day and seemed to imply it was a 'life tenancy or interest': Scots: liferent whilst either spouse was alive. So I am still trying to work out the arrangement after many decades.
Note a gjensidig testament, loosely as a 'mutual will'. In England + Wales, strictly, a joint will is one single doc. signed both parties. Mutual wills are two or more wills made in each other' favo/u/r. Controversially in English and Aussie, it or they create a 'floating trust' that crystallis/zes on the death of either spouse.

What is severance? Severance is the way in which a joint tenancy may be converted into a tenancy in common. It can essentially be severed by one of the joint tenants acting on their notional share, by mutual agreement or by mutual conduct.
