    What aspect are you wondering about?

    If you both live at the same address it's straightforward. One of you is the registered keeper and responsible for tax etc. Ensure you are both properly insured.

    Not sure what else there is really?

    Main thing is to work out who is the main driver for insurance.

    Nope, still base it as the Son is the main user, as the insurers will no matter what the Dad says.
