• Following Separation, Can I Sever My Ownership Of A Joint Tenancy In Favour Of My Husband If He Agrees To Return Ownership Following His Death?

    By Guest on 09th Oct 2019

    I am 55, renting and cannot afford to buy another property. I would like to put down roots in help to buy property but can not whilst already having an interest in a property. My husband is a state pensioner and refuses to leave our home or sell it
    Neither of us can afford to buy the other out and given his situation I dont wish to force him. Would it be legal if, in return for removing my name from the deeds, I insisted on a written agreement that the property be returned to me upon his death. Neither of us are considering divorce.

    You can do so but it would not be legally binding. The easiest option would be to transfer your interest to your husband so he owns 100% and he puts in his will that he leaves 100% to you. Beware though there would be nothing to stop him from later changing his will or evicting you resulting in you losing the property.
