Joint Tenancy

kahawn

I wish to 'convert' my sole ownership of the house my wife and I share into a Joint Tenancy.

I would like to know the Notice /document that requires to be filed with the Land Registry.

Most sites on the internet just discuss "Severance of Joint Tenancy'.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you have a mortgage it might not be so simple.

Best bet is to contact a local Solicitor that you can sit down and talk to about your needs.

I second the solicitor route,
If you have not made wills, it would be best to do these at the same time.

If there is no mortgage, the paperwork for converting the ownership to joint tenancy is easy, you just need to give the land registry a ring and they'll send the documents out to you.

However, if there is a mortgage you will need to speak to your lender, as her name will also need to go on the mortgage, which may mean that you have to re-mortgage - if you are on a fixed term mortgage it may be better to wait. But your lender should be able to explain the process to you.
