Joint Tenancy or Tenancy in Common?

When property is owned by two or more people for their own benefit, it is expressed to be owned by them either as joint tenants or tenants in common. These are legal terms which may best be described as follows:

Joint tenancy

For practical purposes, this applies if it is intended you will each hold one equal share in the property. Under a joint tenancy, and upon the death of one of the co-owners, the deceased’s share will automatically and immediately pass to the surviving co-owner, irrespective of any direction in your will or under the terms of the deceased’s intestacy. If you wish your co-owner to receive the whole of the property upon your death then a joint tenancy should be utilised. Please note however that a joint tenancy can be severed at any time by either party so that the property is then held as tenants in common and unless a declaration of trust is prepared setting out each party’s entitlement to the equity there will be a starting presumption that each joint owner will be entitled to an equal share of the equity. If unequal contributions are being made to the purchase of the property it may be more appropriate for the property to be held as tenants in common (as to which please see below). Please also note that a bankruptcy order in relation to any of the joint owners will also sever the joint tenancy.

Tenancy in common

Upon the death of one of the co-owners the deceased’s share does not pass to the other surviving co-owner but remains part of the deceased’s estate and will pass as directed under any will as made by the deceased person or to his or her next of kin as appropriate under intestacy. Under a tenancy in common, the property can be held by you in unequal shares and may therefore reflect the percentages to which you will each be entitled from any future sales of the property. If the property is to be held in unequal shares each party’s entitlement to the equity can be recorded either in the transfer document or in a separate declaration of trust. Such a declaration is useful evidence as to the intention of the parties where unequal contributions are made. This may be useful in the future in the unfortunate event of a dispute as to entitlement (e.g. in the event of the relationship of the joint owners breaking down) or in the event of a third party (e.g a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy) seeking to establish the entitlement of a joint owner. If you require any further advice in this regard please let me know If a tenancy in common is to be used then the owners must consider making a will. Please also note that if co-owners subsequently marry then their shares in the property may subsequently be varied by a divorce court in any event.

Independent Legal Advice

We cannot advise you how to jointly own the property as this is your decision. In circumstances where you are not equally contributing towards the purchase price of the property, we strongly recommend that you each take independent legal advice.

Action required by you

We require:

The property to be held as joint tenants

The property to be held as tenants in common

Please denote how the shares will be split
