    Severing a joint tenancy covers ending the right of survivorship in property held by two or more people as a single estate, so it becomes a tenancy in common. A solicitor helps by advising on the best method (deed of severance, or a notice under applicable express terms), drafting and serving the severance document, liaising with the Land Registry, mortgagees and other co-owners, and explaining consequences for future ownership and potential tax or benefit implications.
