JOINT TENANCY OR TENANTS IN COMMON
We at Allied Professional Will Writers Ltd have developed an interest in and knowledge of when and how to move from Joint Tenancy to Tenants in Common or vice versa.
The difference can be crucial when someone dies - and it may be too late to do anything about it. A Deed of Variation can be used after death - but only if all the beneficiaries agree, which is far from usual. Besides, it may already be too late as creditors such as the local authority (for Care Home fees) may have registered a charge. Worse still, the estranged or ex-partner may inherit everything.
