How can two individuals own property with rights to survivorship if one wants to put in a trust?

Currently, 2 individuals hold title in a piece of property as joint tenants with right of survivorship. One of the individuals wants to put their interest into a revocable trust. Can the trust and the remaining individual hold title as joint tenants with right of survivorship? If not, would the 2 entities have to hold title as tenants in common?

Transfer by one of the individuals of his/her interest in the property to a trust would destroy the joint tenants with rights of survivorship (JTROS) status and make cause the ownership to be held as tenants in common.
