FAQ
Joint tenancy is most common among married couples because it helps property owners avoid probate. Without joint tenancy, a spouse would have to wait for their partner's Last Will to go through a legal review process—which can take months or even years.
Further tenancy in common allows parties to hold unequal shares of property interest. Joint tenancy requires each co-owner to hold equal shares of property. Further, co-owners must transfer the deed at the same time. In this sense, joint tenancy is rigid compared to tenancy in common.
To challenge the right of survivorship, the party contesting the right must file a lawsuit and prove their case in court with the help of a lawyer.
Cons. Disregarding a will or owner's heirs: Owners can't will their ownership share to their heirs. When owners die, their share of the home immediately passes on to their co-owner or co-owners. If you want to pass your portion of a home to a child, you'll need a different form of ownership.
Under this right, the surviving joint owner(s) of the property will automatically own the whole of the property. This cannot be altered by the terms of the deceased's will or the rules of intestacy (if there is no will) because the deceased didn't own an identifiable share in the property.
If the estate is valued at more than £322,000 , the inheritance is divided between the partner and the children. If the estate is £322,000 or less then the children don't inherit. The partner inherits: all the personal property and belongings of the person who has died.
Spouses or partners do not usually die at the same time and any changes to a joint will need the agreement of both partners. So, if 1 of you dies 1st, then the survivor is simply unable to make any changes to that will.
