This area covers how co-owned homes are held when more than one person has an interest. In England, it deals with the differences between tenants in common and joint tenants, what happens to shares on death, and how to manage or sever the arrangement where ownership terms or financial arrangements need clarity or change. A solicitor helps with setting up the ownership, drafting deeds or declarations of trust, and handling any disputes or requirements arising from mortgage lenders or registers. This work matters because it determines who can live in the property, who bears costs, and what happens to ownership if someone dies or wants to sell.
The key protections relate to rights over the share(s) owned, deadlines for actions like severance or sale, and the potential for conflict if partners disagree. A solicitor can draft or amend the declaration of trust, advise on severance of a joint tenancy, and ensure Land Registry entries and mortgage conditions reflect the chosen form of ownership.

Tagged solicitors Georgianna Kaya and John Rockliff Smart
I used John Smart at Richard Griffiths for the probate and sorting out of my Aunt’s Will. He was professional and helped us to sort out a tricky situation. I found him professional but not distant, easy to communicate with and available when I needed questions answered. I also used Georgianna and team for the conveyancing of the property I was selling. They were efficient and kept everything moving along nicely. Again it was always possible to get hold of someone to answer questions and report on progress. I highly recommend the firm. Everyone has been a pleasure to deal with.
