Transfer of Equity
Whatever your reasons may be, changing the co-ownership status of a property is an important decision that sometimes needs to be made. For instance, you may be in a position where you want to add a spouse to a deed after getting married, remove an ex-partner after divorcing, adjust ownership share percentages or strategically reduce future inheritance tax liabilities.
Although not a complex process, seeking the right legal advice can make all the difference in how efficiently the job is completed. Our dedicated team can:
- Advise on the necessary documents required to get the process started
- Review title and property deeds
- Confirm identities of all parties involved
- Prepare the transfer of equity deed
- Liaise with mortgage lenders to obtain written consent of their approval of the transfer
Deed of Gift
Gifting a property involves transferring ownership to another person. Reasons for doing this may include estate and Inheritance Tax planning or wanting to see a child benefit from the gift in your lifetime. Whatever your circumstances, our specialist residential property solicitors have experience in supporting clients through every step of the process, including drafting, witnessing and advising on any tax implications.
