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.
Severance changes ownership from a single surviving owner to distinct shares, which can affect mortgage rights and future disposal. A solicitor handles drafting and registration obligations, ensures proper service, and explains how the change affects rights of occupation and future claims by co-owners, executors, or potential beneficiaries.

Can’t rate Harry highly enough. Always very quick to respond and guided me through the process of buying my first property. Always very patient when I asked questions. Peter was also a great help.

Tagged solicitor Karen Woods
I have used Russell and Russell Solicitors for every house sale and purchase - each time quality service. This purchase was extremely complicated due to the chain in my sale but Karen Woods and Diane Asbury were so supportive and ensured the purchase completed and they both stayed behind after 5pm to ensure the funds got to the solicitor for the house we're buying. It was so stressful but they were so supportive and we can't thank them enough. Totally recommend using this firm for both sales and purchases.

Tagged solicitor Faith Sutton
During the sale of our house, Faith was exceptionally efficient and had all of our paperwork ready in an impressively quick time. The chain below us was complex and took many months but Faith chased up everything that was needed and enabled us to complete the sale. We would completely recommend Faith for any property sales.
