What would be the best way to title a new home between to single people?

The answer to your question depends on your intent regarding how the home should be distributed upon the death of an owner. If the home should be distributed to the survivor, then you should title the real estate in both names, as joint tenants. However, if the home should be distributed to the survivor's estate, then you should title the real estate in both names, as tenants in common. Ideally, to protect both of your interests in the event of disability, death, or a breakup, you should have a detailed Joint Ownership Agreement in place specifying the rights and obligations of each party. A clearly written agreement in advance can avoid a messy struggle (and possibly a court battle) in the future. It is advisable to consult with a Wisconsin estate planning attorney regarding your specific circumstances.

A tenancy in common or a joint tenancy are your two options. A tenancy in common is probably better, because a joint tenancy has rights of survivorship (which could get in the way of the other owner's children's right to the property, should one of you pass on at some point - God forbid).
