This work covers how matrimonialproperty, especially the family home, is transferred between spouses on divorce or separation, and the orders and steps that govern those transfers. A solicitor in this area drafts and settles court orders, options or consent orders, and handles the transfer of title at HM Land Registry, ensuring any capital adjustments are captured and the mortgage lender is satisfied. They also review settlements to ensure ownership and occupancy rights are correctly reflected and advise on the timing and consequences of registrations and filings behind any divorce settlement.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific transfer decisions determine who owns the matrimonial home and how it is registered, with binding consequences if misregistered or delayed. The solicitor ensures the order is properly drafted, secured by a decree or final order, and that title and registration reflect any ownership changes and protective provisions for the client’s position, should a dispute later arise.
