Which of the following can a joint tenant not do?

Sell his share without the others' consent
Use the property without consulting the other owners
Will his share to his heirs
Mortgage his share of the property

The correct answer is: Will his share to his heirs

Joint tenants have equal shares in the ownership of a property and all have the right to use and possess the property. Since they have equal shares, they also have the right to sell, use, and mortgage their share without the consent of the others. However, joint tenants cannot pass their share of the property to heirs through a will. Instead, when a joint tenant dies, their share is automatically transferred to the remaining co-owners. This is known as the "right of survivorship" and is a key feature of joint tenancy. Therefore, option C, willing his share to his heirs, is not something a joint tenant can do.
