Some years ago some married friends of ours separated for a few years although they remained married.
They then got back together but in that time the husband bought a house which was in his name only.
They are still married and have both lived in the house for many years.
Recently the wife asked me how they should go about getting her name on the deeds incase her husband died before her(they are in their late 60s now) as she did'nt know if she would incur death duties ect if she was'nt named on them.
I understand as the wife she would inherit anyway(they've both made wills) but that's about all.
I have no idea what she should be doing can anyone advise.
Thankyou.

contact the land registry, he needs to do a transfer of equity. Its not difficult, though a solicitor would do it for a fee.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
