Right of survivorship in joint tenancy means that if one of the tenants passes away, their share of the property is automatically transferred to the surviving tenants.

A The tenants in joint tenancy can actually sell the property with the consent of all parties involved. B: This option is incorrect as it contradicts the main concept of right of survivorship where there is no need for the property to be sold upon one's death. D: This option is also incorrect as the deceased's heirs do not have any claim to the property in joint tenancy.
