This covers how ownership of a property is divided between co‑owners when the title is split, including changing shares, creating a declaration of trust, and registering how the property is held with HM Land Registry. A solicitor helps draft or correct deeds to record each person’s share, advises on severing a joint tenancy to become tenants in common, handles applications for mortgage or equity releases, and guides the client through any transfer of equity or related disputes with other owners or lenders.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The severance of joint ownership often affects rights of survivorship and control over the property. A solicitor can provide guidance on the consequences of each option, ensure the correct shares are documented, and prepare the necessary deeds and applications to HM Land Registry to register the new ownership structure and protect the client’s position if relationships change.
