This work covers transferring property between spouses or civil partners as part of divorce, separation or dissolution, including achieving a court order or consent arrangement to change who owns the home. A solicitor drafts and finalises orders, deeds of transfer, and any necessary filings with HM Land Registry, coordinates mortgage redraws or releases, and communicates with the other party, their solicitor, and the court to ensure the transfer is registered correctly. It may also involve advising on rights arising from a matrimonial or civil partnership arrangement and ensuring charges and deadlines are properly observed.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor ensures the transfer of ownership is correctly executed, coordinated with mortgage lenders, and registered at HM Land Registry to protect the client’s interest. This work often hinges on timely court or agreement-based orders, and on ensuring the documented title reflects the new ownership arrangement without exposing the client to future disputes or losses.
