survivorship

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

survivorship n. the right to receive full title or ownership due to having survived another person. Survivorship is particularly applied to persons owning real property or other assets, such as bank accounts or stocks, in "joint tenancy." Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship automatically, except that in some states joint tenancy of a bank account creates only a presumption of survivorship which might be disproved by evidence that the joint tenancy was only for convenience.
