While most married couples opt for joint tenancy due to its straightforward inheritance rules, tenancy in common can offer greater flexibility, especially for older couples concerned about estate planning and bequests.
How to apply Fill in a new or updated trust deed - a conveyancer can help you do this. Download and fill in the form to cancel a restriction, if one has been registered.

A property being held in joint tenancy can be converted to a tenancy-in-common. However, in severing a joint tenancy you can only convert it to a tenancy-in-common if the shares are equally divided.
Joint tenants with the right of survivorship benefit from equal ownership and avoidance of probate. In the event of one of the co-owners deaths, the deceaseds share of the property will automatically transfer to the surviving tenant. Use a Survivorship Deed to establish the right of survivorship for joint tenants.
To sum up: Joint tenants must receive their property interest simultaneously and from the same source with an equal share and equal rights to possess the entire property. By contrast, tenants in common can receive their interest at different times and from disparate legal sources and dont have to possess equal shares.

Change from tenants in common to joint tenants You need the agreement of all the other joint owners to change from being tenants in common to joint tenants. A solicitor, conveyancer or legal executive can help you check what type of joint ownership you have if youre unsure.
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.
