Adding a co-owner to your property title is a significant legal step, and our experienced solicitors are here to guide you through the process. Whether you wish to establish a tenancy in common or joint tenancy, we’ll ensure that your interests are protected, and all legal requirements are met.

Here’s a brief overview of the two options:

Tenant in Common: If you choose to hold the property as tenants in common, each co-owner will have a distinct and separate share in the property. This share can be equal or unequal, depending on your preferences. In the event of one co-owner’s passing, their share can be passed on through their estate to their chosen beneficiaries, rather than automatically transferring to the other owner(s).

Joint Tenancy: In a joint tenancy, all co-owners collectively own the entire property. There is no distinct share for each owner. If one co-owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s), following the principle of the “right of survivorship.”
