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.

Tagged solicitor Ian Cranefield
I have the highest opinion of Ian Cranefield as he was the only one of three solicitors that actually answer my question and did not tell me that I should have done something that could have put my home in a precarious position.
