Severance of Joint Tenancy — Solicitor-Delivered, Fixed Fee

Property held as joint tenants passes automatically to the surviving co-owner on death, regardless of your will. Severing the joint tenancy converts it to a tenancy in common, so your share passes under your will instead. This fixed-fee service handles the severance correctly.

We advise on the consequences of severance, prepare and serve the notice of severance, and attend to the registration steps with the relevant registry so your interest becomes a defined share that you can leave as you choose.

It is for co-owners, including separating couples and those doing succession planning, who want control over how their share of a property is inherited.
