Notice of Severance of Joint Tenancy
Severing a joint tenancy is the conversion of a joint tenancy into a tenancy in common. It is not a fairly simple process, which is why we can offer a simple form to fill out, which will enable you to sever your joint tenancy yourself.
A joint tenancy is a tenancy where two people cohabiting are both owners of the entire property. This differs from a tenancy in common, which entails you both possessing an equal share in the property.
The upshot of a joint tenancy is that, if one of the property owners should die, ownership of the property passes in entirety to the other person. This is obviously ideal for married couples, but not necessarily the best option when you have split up or are living together under other circumstances.
Our severance of joint tenancy form is free to download and very easy to fill out.
