Parcenary
Parcenary Par"ce*na*ry, n. [See {Parcener}, {partner}.] (Law) The holding or occupation of an inheritable estate which descends from the ancestor to two or more persons; coheirship. [1913 Webster]

Note: It differs in many respects from joint tenancy, which is created by deed or devise. In the United States there is no essential distinction between parcenary and tenancy in common. --Wharton. Kent. [1913 Webster]
