House deeds

So to cut a long story short, my mum added me to the deeds of the house and changed her will, so that my brother wouldn't get anything after she passes away. 
Since then, any time she has a bad day, she will say how she regrets putting me on the deeds and is generally nasty about it to the point I don't want to be on them anymore. 
Does anyone have any idea if I could speak to a solicitor and remove myself or would they need her permission? Thanks

  • They will need her permission because she needs to agree to remove you

    Why would your want to remove yourself from the deeds without your mum's knowledge?  Maybe ask her to take you off the deeds next time she has a bad day?
    What is "the plan" for when your mum dies?  If she has fallen out with your brother, then won't leaving everything to you cause ill feeling between you and your brother?

    In what respect are you on the house deeds, as a joint tenant or tenant in common?
  • If you don’t live with her and you gift your share back to her you may have a capital gains tax liability on the transfer of your share so be careful.
