If your co-owner is married, there is a risk of the property being subject to divorce proceedings. With something like a bank account, there is the risk that the co-owner could go on a spending spree and drain the account. In some situations, creating a joint ownership can also create gift tax or income tax problems.
Cons of severing joint tenancy Your co-owner will no longer automatically inherit your portion of the property when you pass away. Youll need to write a Will assigning it to them, if thats your wish. Otherwise, the laws of intestate will kick in.
Generally entry into a lease is not considered to be a transfer of an interest such that it causes a severance of a joint tenancy. The impact is similar to the effects of the grant of a mortgage in a lien theory jurisdiction.
If your relationship has broken down it is important that you consider severing the joint tenancy. If you do not sever the tenancy then, if you die, the whole property will go to your partner. If you own the property as tenants in common then you can decide what happens to your share of the property in your will.
Severance of a joint tenancy means that it is transformed into a tenancy in common. Prior to the recent Conveyancing Act, the owner of a joint tenancy could sell his or her interest and thereby sever it. A major change made by the recent legislation is that severance generally requires the consent of all joint owners.
