joint estate 共同共有地产权 两个或两个以上的人于某不动产上享有的权益，各共有人的利益〔interest〕、权利〔title〕、权益享有的时间及对该不动产的占有〔possession〕都必须是相同或一体的〔unity〕。当其中某一共有人死亡，其权益则由其他共有人享有，即这种共有关系中存在生存者财产权〔right of survivorship〕，这是它区别于并用地产权〔estate in common〕的最重要特征。 (→joint tenancy)

unity of possession
unity of possession (1)占有混同 当地役权人或类似权利人取得对供役地的占有时，即为占有混同。现在，占有混同仅用来指占有是临时性的情况，如供役地所有人租用需役地，那么在租约期内地役权便会因占有的混同而消失；或者如当出租人将承租人逐出租约地时，租赁关系便会因出租人的占有混同而终止。在古代法律文献中，占有混同含义更广，也包括另一种占有混同〔unity of seisin〕。另外当某人同时享有两种相关地产权时，也会发生占有混同，如承租人后来又购得租约地，就会发生占有混同、租赁关系消失的情况。 (2)共同占有 指共同保有人〔joint tenants〕对于土地的不可分割的占有。
